"Once A Month," an independently curated shop on the first floor of Fukuoka Parco, will open its first joint shop between ANREALAGE and mintdesigns on November 20th. The shop will run until December 25th.
At this shop, mintdesigns will stock souvenir-style items, including its popular miscellaneous goods line, just in time for Christmas. ANREALAGE will be introducing its "COLOR series," which changes color under UV rays, a collection that garnered much attention when it was announced, and will also feature an in-store UV installation.
In addition to each brand's 2013-2014 Autumn/Winter collection, the "design shuffle" series, a joint project using each brand's fabrics and patterns, will be sold in a brick-and-mortar store for the first time, with limited-edition items also available.
After closing on November 22nd, both designers will be invited to watch a film screening of their 2013-2014 Autumn/Winter collections and an evening talk show exploring the creative process of both brands. Participation in the event will be on a first-come, first-served basis for those who purchase eligible products at Once a Month between November 20th and 22nd, and invitations will be given to Fukuoka Parco "Parco Card" members.
