Please take this special opportunity to enjoy the collaboration of kimono and fashion. We look forward to your visit. “I want to see a world where kimonos are included in the wardrobes of everyone who loves fashion! That’s how this collaboration with IZA began. I’m usually a DJ and do fashion-related activities, but I also do kimono-related work, such as kimono styling and kimono dressing classes. When I wear a kimono, I’m taught things that I didn’t notice or had forgotten about from the meanings of the patterns and patterns, and the relationship with the changing seasons, and I get more and more excited every day. As someone who loves clothes, ever since kimono became a part of my wardrobe, I have not only expanded my range of fashion styling, but also added a new perspective to my life, and my world has expanded more vividly and richly. I believe that kimonos are clothes that empower me and allow me to discover my true self. I would be happy to have the opportunity to share that excitement with everyone who loves fashion. ” ―Mademoiselle Julia

Through my work, I met Mademoiselle Julia, and as I deepened our relationship with her, I learned that she has a deep knowledge and love for kimonos, and that she is involved in a variety of initiatives. I invited Yulia to be the only one I could collaborate with, and my vague dream turned into a real challenge. The first chapter of a Japanese-Western eclectic story that was made possible with the help of everyone involved. I hope you all enjoy it as well.” ―I Z A Taki Tanaka
