Beautiful People Products
Sometimes I get to help make products for the Japanese fashion brand, Beautiful People, founded by ex Commes Des Garcons designer, Hidenori Kumakiri. Here are some from over the years. Always designed by Shohei.
Holiday 2024 Gifts
From Me To You Scarves
Beautiful People wanted to make some scarves with messages for someone else. I wrote the words and Shohei made them look pretty. You could give gratitude, encouragement, or a little nudge.
YOU LIGHT UP EVERY ROOM YOU ENTER
AND I’D QUITE LIKE TO BE IN THOSE ROOMS MORE OFTEN IF THAT IS OKAY WITH YOU
I WAS GOING TO GET YOU FLOWERS
BUT NO FLOWER IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU
I KNOW IT’S PRETTY TOUGH RIGHT NOW
BUT YOU ARE TOUGH AND PRETTY
Holiday Socks A Trois
Beautiful People wanted a festive update to their three sock packs. Out of each three, pick the pair of socks that best represent your festive feels that day. Unless you have three legs, then you can wear them all.

Beautiful People Feels In Nature
Welcome to Beautiful People’s Society For Feels In Nature, a new collection for the Japanese fashion brand, to make people feel a closer connection with nature, and a hint of sadness. The product tags were made from recyclable paper and plantable for more nature feels: having been soaked in water and buried in soil, they will then sprout in a few days before blooming into flowers. A percentage of profits from each sale go to a charity supporting the conservation of each animal.
It looks like Shoji from the J-Pop group shit kingz (shit kingz?!?!) lost a dugong, as seen on some news show.

Beautiful People Feels Products
All designed to evoke a specific feels.
Tangled Accessories
For when you wake up late and don’t have time to tangle your necklace or earrings. The tangled accessories are designed to make you feel messy.
Measuring Bag
The measuring bag is smarter for you and also for the planet. It is made from recycled umbrellas in collaboration with Plasticity. Do not forget it at the combini or your office like people often do with umbrellas. Do not try to use it as an umbrella as this could prevent smarter feels. Do not machine wash. Do not iron. Put your things inside it and feel smarter.
Climbing Partners Belt + Leash
We have recreated the feeling of exploring with your best friend. The Climbing Partners Belt + Leash is designed to make you and your dog feel closer by going on adventures together.
Layered Sacoche
Place your stuff in different pockets depending on how much you want to hide them. The layered sacoche is designed to make you feel shy.
Tote Bag For Two
For two people to carry at the same time, however heavy or light the load is. This bag is designed to make two people feel closer, emotionally and physically.
