TOKYO - Rock met kimonos as Tokyo kicked off its fashion week with a dazzling runway show that put a modern twist on the traditional Japanese garment.
Yoshiki, whose family once ran a kimono fabric store, launched his Yoshikimono brand about 10 years ago, aiming to fuse tradition and innovation to widen the garment’s appeal. “It’s a challenge, but let’s see. Maybe 20 to 30 years ago I was trying to spread rock and roll in Japan ... After 30 years rock is part of our life,” the co-founder of rock group X-Japan told reporters.Yoshiki said he was still learning and seeking advice from the fashion industry.
“I’m really honored to be wearing a kimono that’s actually going in a new age,” she said. “Showing to the world that tradition can be adapted without being lost. I’m very happy to be part of this show.”
