Kimono Style
2022
Identity and exhibition graphic for Kimono Style — an exhibition explores the mutual artistic exchanges between the kimono and Western fashion by tracing the transformation of Kimono from the late Edo period (1615–1868) through the early 20th century, when affordable ready-to-wear kimono (meisen) became very popular and reflected a more Westernized lifestyle.
