According to Hint Magazine, Japanese brand label Number (N)ine by Takahiro Miyashita will be coming to an end.
“Today we received a letter (an actual letter, so you know it’s serious) from Number (N)ine. 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 Miyashita is closing. The fall ‘09 collection—portentously called A Closed Feeling—was the last.

Number (N)ine will be (m)issed.”
