We had a modern kimono show, a lecture and demonstration at the
globally famous Sao Paulo Museum of Art.
The theme of the show was "Kimono Intorduction Incorporating Elements of Modern Fashion -Possibility of Japanese Fashion Design-" produced by designer / kimono stylist Sueko Oshimoto.
Oshimoto designs the costumes using a kimono in order to get the people from all over the world to be familiar with kimono.
For the first part, we dressed 11 Brazilian professional models with kimono costume that Oshimoto made for other shows and some which made 
for this show imagining Brazil. We also had wedding kimono as a traditional kimono for this show. The costumes are made from traditional kimono displaying the Japanesecraftsman's work. There were lots of camera flashes every time new kimono costumes appeared on stage. The audience were mostly Brazilian, Japanese Brazilian, and young students who major in costume designing.
Picture
The second part of the show, we had a demonstration of dressing a long-sleeved kimono(Furisode). As Oshimoto dresses the model, she explains what tools and accessories she uses. We also used a vintage Furisode transforming to Kurotomesode( Formal Kimono) to show the traditional culture.

The third part of the show was the lecture of kimono's basic knowledge and history using photos with two projectors. The lecture gives contrast with modern costume and traditional culture, hoping that young generations get interested in kimono.

We explained how she used the aspect of Kabuki and Ukiyoe in her costume design.
