Together with my younger brother Kiyoshi, I run the social design studio “The Inoue
Brothers.” In the first part of Radio, we talk about how he has lived his life while always being conscious of his own identity as a Japanese-American born and raised in Denmark, and how he has become immersed in hip-hop and graffiti, which he says are the “soundtracks of his life,” and his interest in graphic design. We asked him how he came to this path. We also talk about the Danish education system, which can be said to be the starting point for establishing an ethical fashion brand, and the differences between it and Japanese education. In addition, in the second part, we will talk about how I became interested in “social design” that contributes to society after working as a designer at an advertising agency, how Japanese people interact with nature from a foreigner’s perspective, the SDGs, and everything about society. He spoke passionately about the importance of education.

https://lit.link/nipporizemi ■Future goal: To “educate” through fashion instead of making things “The most sustainable and ethical fashion is fashion that does not make things.What we want to do is educate through fashion.The reason we are making things now is that we are trying to educate people through the background of making things. This is to teach the “social project” that is being developed, so if you can convey the project as it is, the things will be I think it will no longer be necessary. The important thing about social projects is to give jobs to indigenous people, but our brand alone cannot reach the scale that will improve the position of all indigenous people. I think the shortcut is to provide education that will help people become a society that wants to do what they want to do.”
