APTFORM_BY_MICHAIL_GKINIS

Michail is based in Tokyo, Japan. He studied at London College of Fashion and graduated in 2004. His collections are produced in Japan.

Michail Gkinis' admiration for the Bauhaus movement and its principles, specifically "Form follows function", is aptform's raison d'être as a pursuit in creating meaningful clothes that explore the passageways between communication, design and nature not only in substance but as a purpose for life. The engine of inspiration that breathes life into the idea that is aptform can be seen as the amalgamation of practices that range from INDUSTRIAL to NATURE which is used as a language to express awareness about the modern social environment through the medium of clothing.
