VISVIM: Dissertations

Clothing designer Hiroki Nakamura founded visvim in 2020, and his website is as you’d expect for a clothing designer. What’s extraordinary is that Nakamura’s included a DISSERTATIONS section, where he posts stories and photos of “things, people, places, or cultures that inspire us in our daily work of making products.” The images and accompanying text give meaningful depth to the site.

“The depth of the patterns created by the distinct color bleeding and the slightly random contours cannot be reproduced with print dyeing that utilizes machines. We would like to bring this unique technique, which is found only in Japan, to the attention of more people.”
