ABOUT US
Don't feel lonely, let's play together, express our weirdness consciously and shine!
MONO by OTOTOI DESIGN LAB is an independent family-owned streetwear shop specializing in customized graphics for print in the garment of your choice.
Like our backgrounds, our designs fuse vibrant Mexican art and minimalist Japanese aesthetics, with a sprinkle of Canadian pop culture. Inspired by the unknown frontiers of futurism and sci-fi, our designs are as unique as you are.
Liberate Your Creative Spirit
We offer two pathways to express yourself:
- AI-powered customization: Transform your imagination into reality with personalized prompts for AI-generated designs. Or choose from our selection of AI-generated designs crafted using prompts by Taiyou.
- The magic of a child’s eye: Discover unique pieces by Taiyou, a 9-year-old local artist who captures the world and its essence with wonder. Or he will hand-draw anything you have in mind from his point of view in his unique style.
More Than Fashion – A Statement of You
Step into a realm where fashion becomes a message, and each piece evolves into a bold statement of liberation. We invite you to embrace your inner beauty and free your spirit. Join our MONO movement where self-awareness is THE THING. Choose to BE MONO (BE CUTE), rewrite your story, redefine your rules to unfold a reality and transcend to a place where you meet your true, conscious self.
