Mikeo's graduation project, called 'Diecinueve Segundos',
'19 Seconds', ”is born and defined by tradition, nostalgia
and pain. An intimate, sophisticated and avant-garde collection
that expects to catch the attention where volumes, embroideries
and patterns play a sensorial role”, Jon declares introducing
his dramatic garments: wide-brimmed hats and hooded capes,
knitted cardis and trousers, sort of parachute dresses worn
over opera gloves with gripping details like tiny embroideries,
fringed hems made of dangling wood sticks in a coulisses galore.

present in a convincing approach which has recently been
lionized again: during China fashion week, Jon won the
Hempel's international competition for young designers
organized by Hempel Group with China Fashion Association
as 'the best newcomer' and was lately hailed as the 'best talent'
at the MODAFAD Fashion Awards 2014. Mieko is indubitably
an out-and-out talent who's about to reach stardom
