Hiroko Koshino
I am in awe of the uber-talented Japanese fashion designer Hiroko Koshino. Hiroko is highly regarded in the fashion world as a pioneer of reinventing traditional Japanese dress. While her contemporaries favor the avant-garde, Hiroko creates wearable clothes based on ceremonial wear updated with more volume, natural materials, and assymetric designs. Her hallmark is the modern reinterpretation of the kimono as well as gorgeous textiles and prints of her own design. Hiroko paints; she owns a gallery; she is considered a master of calligraphy; and she plays the Japanese three-strings guitar. You know, I guess when you’ve got it, you’ve got it…
Tadao Ando designed Hiroko’s Tokyo home, his first private project.
