I witnessed the reality of the industry’s aversion to change through him and felt frustration”, reflected Hirayama Yoshihide of the Kyoto-based kimono brand Modern Antenna. Since 2007, husband and wife team Hirayama and Yamamoto Asako have been designing boldly contemporary kimono geared towards modern audiences. They embrace digital design and printing, budget-friendly polyester and varied sources of inspiration.
