During and after the Fudangi exhibition I wrote about in my last post, I also scheduled my first time ever kimono related workshops and some photo shoots. (Because how often do you have the chance to capture the NYC skyline with kimono?) ニューヨークにきてます！ 前の記事で紹介したニューヨークにある「普段着物展示会」の前後にワークショップや着物の撮影もしてみました。 （着物姿をニューヨークで撮るならインパクトあるかなと思って・・笑） Prior to my trip I asked my followers on social media what kind of workshop they would like to...

Like last year, I also joined the Kimono Salone event in Nihonbashi again. Because it was just before my New York trip I am super late to put everything into a proper blog post – but the pictures from the fashion show are too nice to keep them a secret.

Last autumn I designed and had my own and first SALZ Tokyo zouri sandals made. After testing them several months I’m still super excited, so I wanted to properly show them here: 数ヶ月前、初めてのデザイン草履を作って頂いたぁ〜　SALZ Tokyoの初オリジナル草履だわ！ 回数、履いた上で、ちゃんと紹介したいと思います： Even it sounds like what everybody would say who made their own item – they are genuinely the most comfy and favourite zouri I own now!!

Yesterday I jumped back into my kimono, did my hair and went to Kimono Salone – a 3 day event / exhibition of kimono brands in Nihonbashi, Tokyo. 昨日は久々に着物でお出かけしました。初めての「きものサローネ」へ！ But let’s start from the beginning – as always with my outfit: I finally tried to do Nihongami again. It was quite a fight, because I used a cheap stupid extension which doesn’t work well...
