Founded in 2017 by Kenta Miyamoto, design assistant to Daiki Suzuki of Engineered Garments and Nepenthes, AÏE (Arts In Education) is a defiant and spirited fashion label that channels the raw energy of British skatepunk, underground music culture, and streetwear rebellion. Born from Miyamoto’s deep-rooted passion for the 80s and 90s punk, rock’n’roll, and skate scenes, AÏE stands as a vibrant counterpoint within the Nepenthes family—unapologetically loud, irreverent, and alive with DIY spirit.
