A Fresh Take on Style and Sustainability
MINAMI has always stood out for its tailored, modern pieces, and this winter collection takes things to the next level. One of the most exciting additions? Plant-based leather. Yes, you read that right! For the first time, MINAMI is introducing designs made from Gin Skin, a unique eco-friendly leather alternative crafted by Croatian company Sabant Skins. The material is made using waste from gin production, making it both innovative and sustainable.
The Gin Skin pieces are standout items in the collection, including a long skirt, tailored trousers, and a maxi dress that’s straight out of a ’90s minimalist dream. As Željka explains, these designs capture the understated cool of the 1990s while pushing forward into the future of eco-friendly fashion. One particularly stunning piece is a jacket with an unexpected twist—its back panel is made of delicate silk organza, adding a soft and ethereal touch to its structured design.
Tailoring Done Right
Of course, MINAMI hasn’t forgotten what it does best: tailoring. This winter collection is packed with the sleek, structured pieces the brand is known for. There’s a crisp white suit that’s effortlessly chic, a mini dress with a daring open-back design, and a sharp blue suit that brings a fresh pop of color to the season.
Another highlight is the collection’s luxurious wool coat. Designed with longevity in mind, this is the kind of piece you can wear year after year without it ever going out of style. Whether you’re heading to a formal event or simply braving the winter chill, this coat is a wardrobe hero you’ll rely on again and again.
Collaborations That Spark Creativity
This season, MINAMI also teamed up with jewelry designer Selma Štrkljević Mravak, the creative mind behind the brand Little Wonder. Selma designed a collection of brooches that perfectly complement MINAMI’s structured pieces. Her designs are organic, sculptural, and effortlessly elevate the collection. Whether pinned to the lapel of a tailored blazer or the shoulder of the wool coat, these brooches add just the right amount of flair.
The collaboration brings an extra layer of creativity to the collection, showing how fashion and jewelry can work together to create something truly special.
