Kirin - KItsuke Concept Sketch

Published:

Description

This year, the theme of the Anime North Kimono Fashion Show will be Fantasy! The powers that be have pushed me towards some more non-traditional, creative and even some over the top kitsuke styling this year, so I've decided to do some sketches to help me visualize the outfits we will be putting together. In most cases, I don't know who will be wearing which of these outfits yet, so there are a few details I've left out (mostly shoes and hair styles - as that will depend on the models).

This is my Kirin, or Unicorn kitsuke. I'm planning to use a beautifully beaded and embroidered Indian dress and pants set as the base of the outfit, with my Shuukiko Taisho houmongi on top. Though I'd really like to use the beaded vest as well, I understand that it may not accommodate the obi / collar, but I'm going to give it a try, and if the vest closes all the way, I can probably leave the obi out. What I end up going with will likely depend on the fit of the model. In the event that the obi is used, I'm going to tie it into a floppy chou chou musubi. Then I'm planning to use a sheer, green hanbok skirt to create a train that drapes down from the musubi. This is supposed to make the obi reminiscent of a horse's tail. Unfortunately, I likely won't be able to get the same profile if I use the vest, but I'll work out what to do with things when I do a kitsuke test run. I have a pair of brown calf high boots in mind for this outfit, but at the moment it doesn't seem like any of the models will be able to fit into my shoes properly, so hopefully the model will have something similar of their own that they can wear.

P.S. Have I told you how much I love Value Village? LOL! In this case the boots, dress, pants and hanbok skirt are all Value Village finds.
