A lot of them are brocades, or they have varying textures, and then they juxtapose those things in an interesting way. And then here in America, we get so comfortable — sometimes we forget about fashion,” he said with a laugh. And then you take these fashion design students and they mix the whole thing up and make it pop in a totally different way.” And I think the young really like that.

Lazear paired 19 fashion design students with 19 textile artists and challenged them to come up with a piece of wearable art, each using one randomly assigned kimono or sash, plus embellishments of their choice. 24, with a free guided tour on Feb.

“I look forward to being the best Miss Kimono L.A. I wore a kimono for the first time when I became a Japanese dancer at the age of three under the tutelage of Kikusue Azuma at Azuma Kotobuki Kai. “I enjoy learning about the history of Japan through kimono, and it makes me feel connected to my culture when wearing one. My passion for kimono began through participation in dance, and grew in 2022, when I learned kitsuke, the art of dressing in kimono. Whether or not they dressed themselves was not included in the judging criteria, but I think their familiarity with kimono and strong passion toward kimono came out in the results. local kimono lovers, and especially for the younger generation, who are very good at spreading the culture and making new trends.” The next plan is to have a New Year’s lunch party at the beginning of February to discuss what we would like to do as a club this year. I also wanted to make the entry criteria for contestants more accessible. “I thought I would turn down the offer because there was too little time to prepare anything at that point. It was their first Kimono Contest in three years after the pandemic. She recalls that the decision to put on the New Year’s event at Weller Court was made quite late. The audience enjoyed seeing contestants dressed in attractive kimono with a Japanese-style New Year’s atmosphere.

I also wanted to make the entry criteria for contestants more accessible. If we followed the rules, it was not possible to gather enough people in a short period of time. Behind the scenes was the L.A. Over the past three years, the club’s activities had been suspended due to COVID-19 and the retirement of the top leader, so they were motivated to do something again this year.

Kimono Style: The John C. Weber Collection (Brooklyn Rail)

Meisen Kimono with Large Checkered Pattern, Showa period, 1930s. Plain-weave machine-spun silk in resist-dyed large ikat (ōgasuri) with gold-thread weft, 59 × ...

He made it drape in a straight line from the shoulder to the hem of the dress, kimono-style, emphasizing the fabric over the shape of the wearer, and added an obi-like sash in pink and gold that rests on the hips. Kimono Style paints a vivid picture of the subtle, complex, and at times fraught cultural exchange that did so much to enrich Japan and the world. In contrast to the Noh costume described above, a meisen kimono from the 1930s on display employs the ōgasuri technique, a mechanized “large ikat” where both the warp and the weft yarns are bound and dyed before being woven. Unlike the Noh costume, the visual effect of the meisen kimono is bold and eye-catching, deliberately untraditional. The basis of a Noh play, the legend tells of a young man banished from court who becomes immortal, and, unaware of the passing centuries, copies over and over on chrysanthemum leaves a couplet from the Lotus Sutra, an essential Mahayana text. On top of the broad rectangles, supplementary glossed silk wefts weave a repeating pattern of chrysanthemums floating on water, a traditional motif that refers to the ancient Chinese legend of the Chrysanthemum Boy.
