I know I have yes or no both.

We try to reform Kimono as our own way.

The appeal of Kimono is you have more choice to arrange the shape on you.

Sometimes you have to feel tight and heavy when you wear Kimono with total coordinate.

So let me try to wear Kimono as one of my wardrobes more and more from now.

The Gallery SUSHI STORE in Rome, Italy will have a trunk show with scarves and shawls of AKIHIKO IZUKURA from 13th of this month.

via di pallacorda, 12
00186 - Roma
tel. +39 06 97270517

They have Sushi Restaurant by only appointment and Gallery on the ground floor and retail space for high quality and modern products on the basement.
This time, AKIHIKO IZUKURA will be shown on the ground floor. They showed our scarves in spring as well, so this time will be the second chance to show there.

I had a chance to talk to the owner marina tavoletti when I visited SUSHI STORE on the back way from FENDI as business visit in Rome in January this year. Then we met at PREMIERE CLASSE just right after that again, that is the story we started business together.

We tried PREMIERE CLASSE Sep. last year and Jan. this year to find new clients there as well as we have in US, however it didn't go well as we thought. So we decided to concentrate to Haute Couture, also now we have a good client like LUSSO in London, UK as SUSHI STORE.

They both are owned by lovely and solid owners and they both like our products.
We would like to try to have more fan of AKIHIKO IZUKURA there step by step from now on.

Susan Cianciolo, artist/designer who lives in NYC and we have had a very good relationship each other.

She always uses our textile for new release at New York Collection every Feb. and Sep. Also we have just introduced how her show was in Feb.

That Susan will come to stay in Kyoto to try to produce her new collection for next New York collection in Feb. That will be for about a month.

She loves Kyoto and respect our textile, then how would that going to be?
I have no doubt that her and our collaboration will be close more than ever.

She will also have an exhibition to show her products such cloths, accessories and drawings while her stay.

It will be at Halo Galo from Nov. 6(Sat) to 19(Fri). for two weeks.

Opening reception will be on Sat. 6th of Nov. We also have talk show with Nakako Hayashi as an emcee. We would love to hear how enthusiastic she feels for this visit as her first time longer stay.

We also have a surprised guest to talk with Susan.
