A remake dress in wagara, the traditional patterning of Japanese textiles. It carries the visual language of kimono cloth, long reserved for formal and seasonal dress, into a contemporary one-piece garment, shown here on a model 5 feet 5 inches tall.
The Piece
Wagara (和柄) refers to the established motifs and patterns of Japanese textiles, from florals and waves to geometric repeats, long used on kimono and furnishing cloth. This dress reworks such a textile into a modern form, letting the pattern itself define the piece.
The dress is shown on a model who is 5 feet 5 inches tall.
