Sweets from Kyoto

Kimono show and exhibition

As I said in the previous post, some friends and I prepared a kimono show. 

We hadn't much time, only 20 minutes per person so it's the fastest kitsuke I've ever made.  Overall I think it was quite well, taking away some details showing the lack of time ~(>_<~)

The big problem was the furisode. Furisode is the most formal kimono for young unmarried women. And of course the most colorful and striking, with its respective big knot on the back. The other kimono were worn informally so it wasn't much problem. But the furisode wahaha that's another thing.

The famous furisode

Yukata, summer kimono. Gyaru style

Kimono lolita style. I would not call it wa-lolita. Normally what is sold as wa-lolita is a dress quite far from what kimono is.

A dolly kei inspired style. It´s not as famous as other alternative fashion born in Japan, but I love it. And I think is quite easy to adapt the dolly kei to kimono, also to get a street style.

Visual kei in a bit old kimono. Unfortunately "old" and "small" often go together. 

Modern man style but with a women kimono.

And my combination. I have a mum on my face because this shot was taken in the afternoon, and my eyes scream "we want to sleep!" 

The han eri or the collar under de kimono, is faux leather.

I sewed lace on the collar of the kimono and a chain with leafs.

The obi is hanhaba, but I used a brown scarf as a obiage, and brown belt as obijime.

Before to go on stage. 

Was fine, people came to ask after the show  (＾▽＾)

And the sunday

 We tried to teach how to wear a yukata. But people were scared O_O；well, in the end they laughed and were happy for have tried.

I'll participate in a design competition, and some other projects are prowling my head ... 
time come to me! （-＾〇＾-）
