Kimono Dress Atelier Midori
Kimono Dress Atelier Midori
N/A
Studied dressmaking in Ichinomiya high school. Graduated from Nagoya College of Music, then worked as classical music vocalist. Began making dresses from used kimono in the wake of the corona pandemic. Started my brand to create dresses for myself and other Japanese performers. Now making costumes for numerous musicians, finalists of several beauty contests and opera performers. All my dresses made from used kimonos.Most of the kimonos and obi belts that I make into dresses are made of silk, which is specially woven and dyed, and although they were very expensive at first, they recently have little value on the reuse market.The theme of my collection is "waves". Inspired by Japanese ukiyo-e landscape paintings, waves are expressed through a variety of prints and lace.
