Kimono set
Made during an artist residency in Fujiyoshida, Japan. The set was crafted from a vintage roll of hand-painted kimono silk found in Kyoto during the Gion Festival, and entirely hand-stitched with 100% silk thread. Shoulder and waist straps were hand-crocheted from the same silk.
The piece was then hand-dyed by Faline using locally sourced natural materials. Modeled by Itzumi, who at that time worked at the residency and had recently moved back to Japan after years abroad.
