“A Closed Feeling” Number (N)ine’s Last Collection

Posted by Carl | 2009, News, number (n)ine | Sunday 22 February 2009 2:52 am

It is the end of the line for Takahiro Miyashita’s label, Number (N)ine. The fall 2009 collection appropriately titled, “A Closed Feeling” will be the last collection.  On Saturday, Hint reported:

“Today we received a letter (an actual letter, so you know it’s serious) from Number (N)ine. It started with this quote: “When you’re finished changing, you’re finished.” You guessed it: the Tokyo-based, Paris-showing men’s label launched 12 years ago by Takahiro Miyashita is closing. The fall ‘09 collection—portentously called A Closed Feeling—was the last. The letter went on to say “Over the last decade, Number (N)ine evolved, always forging ahead with a unique and potent vision, to emerge as one of the leading brands of Japan.” We agree with the sentiment. Number (N)ine will be (m)issed.”

Hopefully, on the horizon will be a new Miyashita project.
