As a certified kimono stylist, sometimes going to Kyoto can be jarring. I can immediately tell when a tourist picked out their kimono via a factory-line rental shop versus when their kimono has been styled with true professional care.

Hello everyone! Some news! Back in January, I was filmed for a YouTube channel to talk about what it was like to be a kimono stylist! It was my first time being filmed, so I may have been a little clumsy. Regardless, I did my best! You can view it here:

Long time no update! I did a kimono photoshoot in Tokyo last month with a gorgeous furisode! It was extremely cold and windy, but worth it!

A young woman with pink hair styled with floral accessories poses gracefully in a lush garden. She is wearing a soft pink furisode kimono adorned with intricate floral patterns in shades of pink, white, and green. A fluffy white stole drapes over her shoulders, adding a touch of elegance. She carries a small metallic gold handbag that complements her ensemble. Her footwear consists of traditional white tabi socks and elevated zori sandals. The surrounding greenery and autumn foliage provide a picturesque backdrop, enhancing the beauty of her refined and traditional yet modern look.

A couple of years ago, I did a course for bridal kimono dressing, so here's a thread introducing the types of bridal kimono and a brief history!

The image shows a traditional Japanese bridal kimono, known as "shiromuku." It features intricate white floral embroidery with red accents. The kimono has beautiful patterns, including blossoms and tassels, creating an elegant and classic look.

Kimono is not just made with silk. In fact, kimono can come in various fabrics such as linen and wool. But did you know that denim kimono are a thing? That's right, there's kimono made with the same material as jeans! Here's one from Rakuten:

In 2022, a book was released that focuses on modern "freestyle" kimono fusion outfits. If you're interested in how to incorporate kimono into your daily outfits, this is *the* book!
