In the Dressing Room
To start this set off, we have a view of the chaos in the dressing room. This year, we had 4 makeup artists and 6 kimono dressers getting people ready simultaneously. As a result, it was difficult to document things chronologically, so instead, I've uploaded behind the scenes photos along with the cooresponding outfits and their order in the fashion show. Unfortunately, this simultaneous dressing meant that I wasn't able to find photos of every model in the dressing process.
This shot is a nice overview of things as we worked. In the background one of our dressers has just finished working on our geiko's patron, and another works on our spring dancer. In the midground, our makeup artists work away on our daimyo and our minarai, and I'm dressing our maiko. In the forgeound, myloko gets a few things organized for another outfit.
