Hintmag reports that they received a letter from the brand:
It started with this quote: "When you're finished changing, you're finished." You guessed it: the Tokyo-based, Paris-showing men's label launched 12 years ago by Takahiro Miya****a is closing. The fall '09 collection—portentously called A Closed Feeling—was the last. Miya****a will exit the group, which has already begun disbanding, and "the brand as we know it will come to an end." The letter goes on to say "Over the last decade, Number (N)ine evolved, always forging ahead with a unique and potent vision, to emerge as one of the leading brands of Japan."
i am surprised. there were a number of people on TFS that were gaga for Number (N)ine's accessories...
