Since my first trip to Japan in 2002, I have been an avid collector of Japanese textiles which I

fashion into wearable art: I collect sumptuous silk crepes, diaphanous summer weight pongee,

crisp, transparent asa (hemp), kasuri (Ikat), indigo dyed cottons and room-sized hemp

mosquito netting. My most recent interest has been Japanese “boro” textiles, which are indigo

dyed clothes and carry-squares with atmospheric wear, sashiko stitching patches and repairs

which I turn into gender neutral garments in a variety of sizes and styles. I love to see how

people look in my creations, so I encourage trying-on adventures. Bring your friends and have

a party to see how you can up-style your look the Japanese way.
