To be held on Saturday March 28 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. and coinciding with the L.A.

The event will also feature acclaimed creation Asais, the 1,000-year-old coat that debuted in New York and Paris Fashion Weeks this year, and celebrates kimonos over 1,000 years of history in Japan and his belief that the kimono is not limited to just one form.

Asai creates exquisite contemporary clothing with fabrics made by traditional kimono artisans since 2016, in order to honor and revive their craftsmanship and focus on the true essence of the kimono, its fabric, developed through centuries-old processes with deep cultural significance. As the kimono fabric is very different from most of the fabrics generally used in Western fashion, Asai has developed a unique and tailor-made approach to integrate these textiles into contemporary styles.

The kimono is perhaps the most recognizable symbol in the history of Japanese fashion, dating back more than a thousand years to the court of Heian (794-1185 AD), and associated with luxury, ; craftsmanship and refinement. However, the market for traditional kimonos has shrunk, with the ranks of dyers, weavers and craft suppliers, many calling it an existential crisis for form. Fortunately, a new generation of innovative designers like Hiromi Asai brings this icon to life in fresh and often unexpected forms like men's fashion on the catwalks of international fashion shows.

Recently developing from women's clothing to men's clothing and handcrafted costumes, Asai collaborates with leading Japanese experts in techniques such as jacquard weaving, figured satin Rinzu, embroidery and lacing Nuitori and ancient dyeing processes , including Bokashizome Ombre and Hikizome Brush Dye as well as Yuzen Hand Resist Dye. She works closely not only with fabric manufacturers, but with various production partners in Japan, including pattern makers, seamstresses and tailors, to ensure that all elements of a design can come together gently and beautifully.
