Momoko Chijimatsu is a conceptual fashion and art brand which was formed by two people, Momoko Ikuta and Yutaka Chijimatsu. Momoko and Yutaka recognized that many people suffers as a result of the social issues that exist in the world. The aim of Momoko Chijimatsu is to get individuals involved in social issues that they are interested in, without pressuring or guilting them into engaging.
Momoko and Yutaka take pride in being artists, educators, and social activists. Our purpose is to create fashion pieces that can be displayed like art. We hope that by wearing our pieces, you will get joy from becoming a piece of art yourself. We use our atelier like a laboratory. The items we produce are created by experimenting with architectural, agricultural, and other unique sustainable materials.
At the University of Southern California, Momoko studied international relations and feminism and at the Shibaura Institute of Technology, Yutaka studied architecture. Momoko Chijimatsu is the culmination of those three areas of study.
