About Roots of Eternity

Japanese tradition reimagined as wearable art. Designer Sumizome Kosho Miyuki paints her garments by hand in sweeping black ink and gold, turning kimono-inspired silhouettes into canvases.


Four women carry the story: a flame-red gown with an explosive feathered headpiece and long black gloves, white robes painted with ink and tied with silver obi under crowns of blue and white flowers, and flowing white couture with ruffled sleeves against glass and stone. Roots and eternity meet in every brushstroke.
