The shyness, humility and constant strive for perfection are meeting together at a crossroad in Tokyo. Drawing its inspiration from kimono, this dress seeks to reenact the same effortlessness specific to Japanese culture. That’s the snapshot of a quick impression. But when one takes a deeper look, this dress goes beyond that core inspiration. The extra-long sleeves are thought to be an extension for your hands, the hands that carry flowers, the hands that heal and caress. The cord allows for multiple styling directions.
Poem
I bow down to the essence of life
to this warm tea that’ll rejuvenate my cells,
to these freshly picked flowers from my garden;
I put on this kimono-dress
with its elongated sleeves
to hide my shy hands;
I leave the most silent trace of existence behind me,
At this crossroad of life, I find myself from time to time
reminiscent of my past urban life
repetitively happening at that Shibuya crossing,
I tighten the cord on my waist
fully ready for a slow ritual
to dine, to nourish, to feel and taste
the essence of life in its various infinite forms;
