Hirocoledge


Recently in Tokyo, I met by chance -if that exists- Japanese Designer Takahashi Hiroko. She plays with simple shapes and colors and creates patterns that represent the Japanese spirit in a very contemporary style. She is the Design Director of her own brand, Hirocoledge, where she develops products that value the traditional techniques of Japan incorporing new ones.
In Japanese culture it is believed that black Kimonos should only be worn in funerals. Takahashi Hiroko`s recently received her Doctorate in fine Arts with a challenging line of black and white Kimonos that can be worn in happier ocasions. Why not question what has always been the same way?

You're absolutely right, as usually. Beside black and white clothes look so smart!

Congratulations for that casual meeting, girls. How I wish I could go with you to those exhibitions... (sigh)
