KIMONO SK SHOW
Kimono SK offers Japanese cultural kimono show. Our concept is To introduce the correct Japanese kimono culture to the world, with a hope for people to understand the splendor and beauty of kimono.
First, we grab everyone’s heart with a fashion show presenting beautiful art piece-like kimonos. Our goal is to have as many people to experience wearing kimono, therefore we offer locals or students from your school to dress and walk the runway.
For dressing demonstration, we show how a traditional kimono is styled and dressed live on stage by master Sueko Oshimoto. She will exhibit her flawless yet outstanding dressing technique. When a 14-foot long sash is transformed into a beautiful decoration, in every performance the crowd will cheer and applaud. They cannot help saying “Wow!”.
During the last lecture, we explain the history of kimono and its basic knowledge. In addition, Sueko Oshimoto will introduce her design works (from avant-garde kimono dresses to high-fashion kimono costumes) on a monitor used in Hollywood movies, televisions and fashion magazines.
We will provide a show only Kimono SK could do in the world. Show structure, content, budget are flexible based on your requirements/requests.

KIMONO FASHION SHOW
Approximately 10 models will wear different kimonos. Geisha will appear as well.
KIMONO DRESSING DEMONSTRATION
“Kimono dresser” is a national qualification licensed in Japan same as “cosmetology license”. Japan is the only country in the world to teach dressing at specialty school of its own National Costume.
KIMONO LECTURE
We will have models come on stage again to explain the differences and characters of kimonos. Also, Sueko will talk about behind the scene stuff and stories from various sets, something an active costume designer in Hollywood could only provide.
