The Nani Iro Sewing Studio

Naomi Ito is the artist and designer behind popular fabric brand Nani Iro. Inspired by elements in nature, she creates breathtaking watercolor paintings that incorporate brilliant colors, shades of light and water, and poetic movement. Naomi’s innovative painterly approach to textile design has been praised as “art on fabric.” The designs are printed on natural fibers, including airy double gauze cotton and breathable linen, which are perfect for clothing, and are the inspiration for the garments in this book. Naomi has exhibited in Tokyo, Osaka, and Paris and her work has been featured in books, advertising campaigns, interior design products, and fashion accessories. She hosts workshops on watercolor painting and is the author of sewing and art books in her native Japan.
