Nahoko Komori

高校卒業後、ロサンゼルスの大学にてファッションを学ぶ。日本とは違う様々な人種とカルチャーが混ざったカラフルな世界に触れ〝みんなもっと自分を表現していい、まるでドレスを着てる時のように楽しめる服を作りたい〟自然にそう思うようになっていました。

ロサンゼルス、そして東京でアパレルの仕事を経験し、結婚、出産。

工場で自動的に沢山作られるものとは違った

手作りの服の良さや、自分で作ることの楽しさを伝えたいと言う想いから、子供服等を作るソーイング教室〝nuinuikobo〟を開く。

その後、子供にだけでなく、母親になった自分も、また服を通して楽しんで行こう、そんな気持ちから〝Napowa〟をスタートしました。自らの手で作ることもまた私の喜びです。

自分の〝好きなもの〟を追求しながら、美しさや人生の楽しさをもっと引き出す服を作っていきます。

ーーーーーーー

After graduating from high school in Tokyo, I studied fashion in Los Angeles.

I was exposed to a colorful world with a different mix of races and cultures from Japan, and I naturally thought, "Everyone can express themselves more, and I want to make clothes that people can enjoy as if they were wearing a dress.

I have worked in the apparel industries in Los Angeles and Tokyo, got married, and became a mother.

I opened "nuinuikobo," a sewing class for making baby clothes, to tell the warmth of handmade clothes and the joy of making them ourselves , which is different from the ones that are automatically made in a factory.

Few years later, I decided that I wanted to enjoy myself again through clothes, not only for kids, but also for myself as a mom, so I launched my handmade clothing brand "Napowa.”It is also my pleasure to create with my own hands.

I pursue what I love and create clothes that bring out the beauty and joy in life.
