The well-known American Japanese model, Kiko Mizuhara, has teamed up with the London-based lingerie brand Fruity Booty in a lingerie collaboration. Kiko Mizuhara always felt there lacks good lingerie brands - until she purchased her first Fruity Booty lingerie set. After reaching out to Fruity Booty via social media, this new collaboration was born.
The prints for this capsule collection were inspired by the traditional Japanese technique of orizome. Orizome is a paper craft that involves origami folding and color dip dying to develop a print. The collection will feature Fruity Booty's classic sheered lingerie and nightwear that are printed using the orizome technique.
Fruity Booty is a female-owned business that operates with a direct-to-consumer model. This new collaboration will be sold exclusively through an e-commerce platform.
