{"title":"Nishimoto Is The Mouth","description":"\u003cp\u003eNISHIMOTO IS THE MOUTH is a Japanese fashion and creative project directed by Katsutoshi Nishimoto. Founded in 2017, the brand began as a personal project between Nishimoto and a small group of friends, producing T-shirts that were initially distributed among friends and acquaintances rather than sold commercially. The pieces soon found an unexpected audience overseas, with figures including Drake, Virgil Abloh, Tom Sachs and Peter Sutherland among those seen wearing the brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the centre of NISHIMOTO IS THE MOUTH is the mythology of an imaginary cult: “Baby is God, and Nishimoto is the mouth.” Nishimoto describes himself as the person able to hear the voice of the baby and communicate its message to the outside world. This fictional belief system forms the foundation of the brand's distinctive universe, where clothing, graphics and storytelling come together with a sense of humour, absurdity and irreverence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter leaving the Japanese fashion label Visvim, Nishimoto began developing the project independently, and in 2020 NISHIMOTO IS THE MOUTH entered a new phase of activity. Today, the brand produces small collections of clothing and accessories, working with retailers in Japan and overseas while continuing to expand its cult-like visual language through collaborations and creative projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlurring the boundaries between fashion, art and personal mythology, NISHIMOTO IS THE MOUTH has developed a distinctive identity built around Nishimoto himself and the strange world he has created around the brand.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/www.wearedropouts.com.au\/collections\/nishimoto-is-the-mouth.oembed","provider":"Dropouts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
