MTG-is a fashion brand that explores the future of civilization and ways of survival for humanity. The brand reexamines the dynamic aesthetics of the human body and clothing through a multidimensional sustainable concept and a rational attitude, emphasizing the natural state of physical comfort. We value the harmonious and close relationship between humanity and nature, incorporating elements of contemporary sports aesthetics through the observations and admiration of LAI and CHRISTINE XU's personal experiences. As a result, MTG offers fashion that is not constrained by external forms, catering to diverse groups of people from different fields. The brand utilizes high-end functional fabrics and renewable materials, combined with advanced fashion tailoring. MTG intertwines minimalist lines, intricate craftsmanship such as traditional patchwork, and conflicts between traditional weaving techniques and fabrics, drawing inspiration from the memories of the two designers.

We incorporate functional fabrics such as bio-based leather Vegatex and renewable materials like Eastman Naia, to achieve further advancements in the multi-dimensional field of sustainability. In terms of sustainable tailoring and textile craftsmanship, MTG continues to utilize innovative clothing compositions with lower consumption as the goal, integrating avant-garde fashion elements and textile innovation technologies. This allows us to offer sustainable clothing products to a broader range of consumers and inspire positive changes in their lifestyle choices at the forefront.
