AïE—aka Arts in Education—is an exploration of both underground subcultures and textbook panache. Founded in 2017 by Kenta Miyamoto, AïE draws on references ranging from Japanese-influenced Americana to skate culture in order to deliver daringly original looks—a true hallmark of the Nepenthes umbrella. Made from materials such as denim, wool, and nylon, and featuring patchwork, embroidery, and vibrant print designs, the bold workwear staples promote functionality and free-spirited creativity. AïE’s innovation crafts an infectious energy that elevates workwear apparel and gives way to boundary-pushing aesthetics
