Arts & Science

Founded: Tokyo, 2003

Designer: Sonya Park

About: Arts & Science founder and designer Sonya Park bases her designs on the philosophy that “fashion is a 'tool' in daily life rather than a 'tool' for vanity.” Her original collection of clothing was inspired by "Men's, Vintage, Work and Ethnic Wear," which the designer believes to be the departure point for all successful clothing designs. With a focus on high quality materials and expert craftsmanship, Park’s collections are created with consideration for how clothing will wear over long periods of time and with regular use.
