Following the last post, I came across another interesting designer who is successfully mixing tradition with modernity. This time it is a japanese brand from Tokyo,
Tsukikageya, specializing in yukata (summer kimono) and all its accessories. The designer uses traditional methods for making and printing the clothing, but creates contemporary and funky patterns. The obi (kimono belts) are available in leather, snakeskin, or decorated with crystals; adding a punk twist to the classic sash.
Yukatas look so light and comfortable...perfect for hot summer days! Another thing to add to my wish list...
