Fashion -Green Peacock

Alfia Galimova, fashion designer: 

When I found it, I fell in love with the color and the very simple elegance of the unpatterned kimono. 

I wanted to preserve all these qualities by transforming it into an evening dress. When I work with vintage items, I often use the draping technique on a mannequin. I tried to do as little manipulation as possible. 

When it comes to dressmaking, it is always important to listen to the fabric. It is often impossible to force her to do what she does not want. This is like the law, especially with silk. I also wanted to emphasize the graphics of Japanese family seals. I decided that it should be on the chest. Well, then the process went by itself.

 A woman warrior or samurai is seen wearing this dress, but after service.
