As part of their visit, the delegates viewed Midori collection by Raffles Jewellery Designer Mifuyu FUKAI at the RISIS boutique. Mifuyu’s passion for design, coupled with her reverence for Japanese culture, served as the driving force behind the Midori collection.

The Midori collection is a testament to Mifuyu’s artistic vision and meticulous craftsmanship. Inspired by Japan’s enchanting bamboo forests, each piece in this collection exudes elegance and sophistication. Crafted with precision and adorned with prasiolite (green amethyst), this collection is currently retailed at RISIS and now available in white gold and rose gold due to popular demand..

Raffles Designers not only learn from industry collaboration but also excel in them to bring their designs from Design to Retail.

Beyond individual success stories, this collaboration symbolizes Raffles’s commitment to nurturing and empowering the next generation of creatives. By providing students like Mifuyu with real-world opportunities and industry exposure, we aim to foster innovation, excellence, and career readiness for Raffles Designers.
