“Kimono ensemble
Ishikawa Narutoshi (b. 1965)
This vibrant ensemble features a broken war plane submerged in the ocean. The politically charged motif reflects the designer's wish for an end to conflict. For Ishikawa, who started out by making obi accessories, all aspects of Japanese dress should be contemporary. To achieve this, he uses vivid colours, imaginative patterns and unusual materials.
For Iroca
Tokyo, 2016
Kimono and obi: polyester, digital printing
Zöri: vinyl, velvet, faux fur
V&A, FE.32 to 36-2018”
