Yesterday's News

About Me




In this fickle fashion world; a new breed of designers are emerging that possess only an elusive sense of generational identity & preoccupation with preceding generations & yesterday’s news.
Miyoko is both the name of the refreshing new label from Perth designer, Emily Wills + her musing cat. Emily references the cyclic nature of fashion, inspired by her confused generation’s existence & their strong yearning to attain an original identity. “When societies drive us to better ourselves through intense introspection & then reading self help books manifest self helplessness, ultimately we are all just under employed, overeducated and intensely unsatisfied.”
The signature style of the label reinforces the notion of contradiction; whereby styles of the past interchange with styles of the now. When everything has already been invented & popular culture continuously references the past it’s no surprise that anything new is in fact already Yesterday’s News.
It's an exciting time for Miyoko, currently stocked in boutiques nationally.
