Vintage Japanese kimono silk, deconstructed and recut into a Hawaiian aloha shirt. Traditional wagara patterning carries the textile's ceremonial past into a relaxed, open-handed garment, completing a circle that began when early aloha shirts were sewn from kimono cloth.
The Piece
This aloha shirt has been remade from a vintage silk kimono, the cloth deconstructed and reassembled into the familiar Hawaiian form. Its wagara, the traditional patterns of Japanese textiles, remains the shirt's defining feature.
Kimono remake shirts continue a long exchange between Japanese textile and Hawaiian dress, and give fine Japanese silk a sustainable second life.
