KIMONO FUSION
From the ultra traditional to the hyper modern
13th September 2009 to 24th January 2010
the museum of far eastern antiquities opens in autumn 2009 with a japanese fashion show that starts with the kimono and in a playful way springs into various japanese subcultures and fashion trends of today. East meets west, old meets new, real meets fake.
The exhibition features exquisite vintage kimonos that puts dazzling textile techniques on display, mixed with creations by some of japan’s hottest young designers and artists – from takyua angel’s spectacular creatios to street-smart childish designs by shojono tomo. Handmade accessories for young geishas are shown side by side with the graffiti artist shin tanaka’s murals and hip hopish origami figures inspired by the elaborate patterns of ancient kimonos.
The exhibition is a joint arrangement with Rekostylisterna: Aia Jüdes and Sanna Gebeyehu.
