We are pleased to announce the release of a collaboration collection with New York–based artist Aurel Schmidt

2026.05.29

Drawing inspiration from everyday “trash” such as cigarette butts, candy wrappers, matchsticks, and empty cans, Aurel Schmidt creates a distinctive universe that evokes themes of memento mori—the fragility of modern life and the fleeting nature of existence.

 

⁡While her works are composed of chaotic and decadent motifs, they also carry a sense of humor and familiarity, capturing the vibrant energy and noise of New York City streets.

 

⁡For this collaboration, Aurel Schmidt created exclusive illustrations inspired by memories from her visit to Japan, incorporating elements of PORTER throughout the artwork. Using pristine white bonding nylon as a blank canvas, her unique world is boldly expressed through an all-over print design. The special collection consists of four styles, each accompanied by an omamori-inspired charm.

 

⁡Launch Date: Friday, May 29th, 2026

 

⁡The collection will be available exclusively at PORTER flagship stores (Omotesando, Tokyo, Osaka), PORTER (Ginza, Shinjuku, Kobe), PORTER EXCHANGE (Shibuya, Osaka, Kyoto), KURA CHIKA by PORTER HONG KONG (FASHION WALK), KURA CHIKA by PORTER TAIWAN (Taipei), PORTER KOREA (JAMSIL), PORTER BANGKOK, and the YOSHIDA & Co. Official Online Store.⁡

 

*The collection will be available online from approximately 12:00 PM (JST) at the YOSHIDA & Co. official online store.

*As quantities are extremely limited, sales will end once stock is sold out.

*Each item comes with an original drawstring pouch.

*Due to the cutting process of the fabric, the print pattern will vary from item to item. Please note that specific patterns cannot be selected.
