“I want to create some future years,” said Jotaro Saito, whose theme in his runway is ‘Memories of the Future’.
The brand’s signature pattern, ‘Striped Buttons’, are scattered all over the place. A modern pattern that combines the classical pattern ‘Stripe Pattern’ and the ‘Peony’ with large blooming flowers creates a unique design with a fresh mood. For example, striped buttons with elegant oriental flowers are layered with plaid for a casual look. A kimono made of only striped buttons is paired with a ribbon in a trendy polka dot pattern for a fresh look.
The exterior is dominated by dark pink with an emotional floral pattern for a more dramatic impression. A seemingly simple black and grey kimono, with bright mustard accents on the lining, creates a gorgeous mood.
In addition, casual kimonos using clothing materials such as knitted materials with block stripe patterns and denim with zebra patterns on the lining are also available. In each case, modern elements such as clutches and hats are incorporated into the styling for a light look.
