Done!

December 17, 2009 By Chie

I’m done! I’m all done with making clothes for Tokyo Made Market. yay!
Sorry for the not-so-exciting background of the photos… I wanted to get a photographer and shoot mood shots of the collection with my sister as a model, but I just ran out of time. Besides, my sister was being a bit uncooperative, so I just had to do it myself. So today I had to run around the house and the back yard trying to get these photos taken before sunset. I feel like the sun goes down so quickly, and by little after 4pm, it already looks like midnight.

Do you see that I cheated a bit though? I did not make all 9, I only made 8.. the bubble sleeve cardigan was borrowed from my etsy shop.. but I just thought it goes well with the rest of the clothes, color wise.

My favorite is the top right corner, two-tone dress with criss cross detail in the front. I would have worn it to work everyday if I still work at the office! My second favorite is the middle in the second row, high waisted skirt. It is quite comfortable and warm, since this thick fabric has some stretch.

These will be available at Tokyo Made Market, and they are all one of a kind!

Introducing the looks from the Collective Fashion Show held at the end of January💫

In designing these pieces, my focus was on translating the timeless beauty of traditional Japanese textiles into contemporary, wearable styles.

• The Obi wrap skirt, reimagined for the modern wardrobe.
• The playful Meisen rompers, breathing new life into vintage silk.
• The unlined statement jacket, featuring a striking sleeve silhouette.
