Japan is home to a richly historied and regionally diverse culture of fashion and textile arts, encompassing iconic styles and unique techniques for weaving, dyeing, embroidery, mending, and more. As Japan’s kimono and textile industry experiences major transformation amid changing tastes and the rise of fast fashion, designers and craftspeople around the world seek to carry these traditions into the future with fresh relevance.


In this virtual discussion with designers Hiroyuki Murase of suzusan and Sara Sakanaka of Considered Objects, moderated by Boston-based kimono stylist Ara Mahar, we will hear the stories behind two noteworthy up-and-coming fashion labels and explore how they thoughtfully honor generations of tradition through contemporary practices that span Japan, the U.S., and Europe.
