I would prefer exciting persons to share the time. How about you ?

First of all, I must be a person who can give an attractive time. Therefore, I always gather and select information for enjoying the conversation.

“KIMONO re-couture dress” is also bringing the excitement to me as well as to you !

When I went to Kyoto last week, I put on a new designed fashionable skirt. It was got some good reputation unexpectedly. ①Doughnut bolero, ②skirt, ③bag were made from a silk woven Kimono as one group. ① is reversible. ③ is made from the reminder of ①. All items are very gorgeous, refined and useful as one or 2～3 together. The several occasions from party to daily wearing and all seasons are acceptable.

How do you think ?         Are you exciting ?

Looking back on the last Nov… it was safe !

Our fashion show for the 10th anniversary dated on Nov.4^th 2019 in Osaka.

The theme was the admiration of Japanese KIMONO color through OLYMPIC 5 colors.

It mentioned “CONCEPT ART”, KIMONO (before) and KIMONO DRESS (after).  The 40 designs were on stage by 17 models. Over 40 staff were working well as one team.

The gallery about 180 guests was so impressed the change from the authentic traditional KIMONO to our refined beautiful KIMONO DRESS. At last scene, it was appealed the “hand in hand” relationship of people all over the world.

After the show, the video was edited until last month. It took almost 6 months. OMG !  The several types such as promotion and sales, long and short now exist.

In parallel with this video edition, the next works has been started for the exhibition and fashion show in Paris. But this event will be postponed due to COVID-19. When the next chance will come?

We are fully realized “co-existence and co-prosperity” with the lovely earth.

Adding the regular work, the design from flyer to dress, delivery for the flyer, model audition etc.

The theme is celebration of TOKYO 2020, the flyer colors show Olympic 5 rings. One color of it is Green of FURISODE KIMONO.

Many questions is “How is made KIMONO DRESS ?”

Let’s show the first half of process, such as taking whole KIMONO photo, after praying “Thanks to be KIMONO and engaging to remake well ” unsawing, YUNOSHI (steam press), making pattern, and marking.

“Concept Art” is shown in this fashion show, It is very interesting in the BEFORE/AFTER of KIMONO.

                  What is your present for your mother ? The present has been changed day by day.

There are filled with many kinds of merchandise in recent market. Otherwise, meal in a restaurant or travel which the parents pay the all expense.

My mother born before World War 2 was glad to receive the thanks mind not money or expensive goods. She was unexpectedly glad to see my Kimono style with her bag and sandals of Kimono. Probably, she felt that I became a lady. But I can’t wear her Kimonos due to the height difference. Therefore, I remade from her Kimonos to western style clothes.

This blue coat-dress was her favorite Kimono based on exquisite color with solo white color flowers. I feel very happy to remind her creed, “ deep affection and consideration “.

Let’s display my mother’s piece of love for a while. “Thanks mama forever !!!”

My 2 profile photos are shown the result of “brush-up myself”. In my present surroundings, many beautiful ladies both of mentally and physically are gathering. The one reason is that my fashion show will be held in November. The models are familiar to famous beauty events.

These photos are shot for this show flier. The photographer mentioned the blue color dress was good for lecturer, and black jacket for artist. Of course, both clothes are made from KIMONO.

How do you think ? The black one is not artist but secretary, I think. The artist looks needed more freedom, didn’t it ?

The show flier will be introduced in June

Flower, Cuisine and KIMONO Dress make me very happy and bring back a girl’s heat which is always left in somewhere. This dress was remade from KIMONO Haori jacket. The vivid color can make the face skin lighter.

My atelier is located in a good refined place near Osaka Castle, seasonal view river, beautiful parks and many restaurants.

I am too busy to enjoy this location well …..

I joined “talk, talk” on facebook in this morning. Please see my facebook page “Kiyomi Kitagawa” for this.

I got up at 6 o’clock for make-up. But my face became dark under the room light. It’ was good not to my face clearly

My talking was not stopping. It supposed to be 30min, but over one hour. Yoko-san didn’t stop me. Thank you for her kindness and lead.

For spring season, the pink Kimono was displayed the drop cherry tree with blossoms in my room.

My black Men’s shirt was made from TOMESODE Kimono for bridal occasion. Main part of this Kimono was used for lady’s long dress. And the rest was for men’s shirt. This shirt is very comfortable because of the big size and light weight.

In New York, man often put on a shirt instead of a jacket in party. It was very cool and refined. I was really enjoyed my parties there, cooking “Tako-yaki, Yakitori, Chirasi-sushi”. It was a good memory of “my youthful days again”.

Now, I really enjoy my Kimono dress in the restaurant parties out of my house.

Tomorrow is the Girls’ Festival. We celebrate it showing the bridal event of prince doll and princess doll. Recently, it becomes difficult to do it due to the big space and the time loss setting.

The Japanese culture should be existed in the future but be suitable to our life style.

Therefore, I have remade Kimono from typical style to western clothes since 10 years ago.

While this season, I often put on the same Kimono dress because it is very gorgeous and comfortable. Such as a contest and the party of Mrs. International in Osaka, International convention, makeup lesson, and Italian Art seminar introducing the activity of “SUPERSTUDIO”.

My dress as well as OBI (Kimono belt) bags could get some good reputation in all places.

These bags are released now. We have some other designs.

The Girls’ Dolls was back to the home after 70 years.

I had seen something great and amazing in Museum SEIKADO-BUNKO, Tokyo.

My client was donated the full set of dolls. The price is out of our imagination.

My remade “KIMONO DRESS” had got some good reputation at the reception party.

A tunic style from TOMESODE KIMONO was for my client and a jacket from HAORI KIMONO was for me.

Before visiting the museum, I had stopped at Japanese sweet shop “TORAYA” in Roppongi.

It was also held “ORIGAMI” Girls’ Dolls. And I had found the Japanese cards “Japanese sweets KARUTA” with beautiful drawing and poem praying “World Peace”.

Recently, many visitors from abroad are found in Japan. But I cannot find them in TANGO area located north of Kyoto.

It is famous for many special spots and products such as Amanohashidate/KONO shrine/MANAI shrine/NARIAI temple/MONJYU temple/hot spring/fresh sea food/matsutake mushroom/chestnut/TANGO Chirimen (Kimono fabric). If you are interested in the origin of Japan, please check and visit TANGO area.

My black jacket is very convenient for my daily life especially ceremony which was made from formal Kimono with family crest.

I really enjoyed two days tour in this “mysterious” area.
