Brand information:
Under the umbrella of Issey Miyake’s design studio, a company by the name of A-Net was formed in 1996, operating as a sister studio to Miyake Design Studios. A-Net is a fashion label home to many Ready-To-Wear brands that have gained massive popularity. These are brands such as mercibeaucoup, Tsumori Chisato, Final Home and ZUCCa. Né-Net is one of those brands. Unlike many other of the A-Net brands, Né-Net has gained international attention – mostly because of its playful approach to fashion, and its iconic “Nya” cat. Né-Net made their final Rakuten Fashion Week appearance for S/S 2015, and since then, the brand has been out of production, but Né-Net has become a rare Japanese gem. Né-Net was started in 2005 by Kazuaki Takashima, who had, until then, designed for Issey Miyake.
