tanuki-kimono: Chiso kimono company new collection, modeled by artist Mirai Moriyama. It’s interesting they chose a man to model a woman kimono line (even if the blue houmongi, styled as a woman would wear it, felt a bit too constricting to Moriyama-san as stressed in the interview). I’ve touched it before, male artists have been wearing women kimono for a long time in Japan (onnagata for example). That doesn’t mean many men would actually dress like that in the streets (yet), but its always nice to see campains like this choosing to blur stiff traditional kimono fashion. We are heading the right way :) -- source link
