I love to travel all over the globe shopping for textiles to add to my wearable art. I have taught quilting to school children in Nepal, seminole patchwork to seamstresses in Thailand, and jackets and embellishment to quilters in Turkey where I also served as a judge at 2 of their International Quilt Shows. I have created garments for 5 Fairfield and Bernina Fashion Shows and teach classes on embellishment and wearable art. Lately I have been leaning more toward making art quilts.
Apparently, just as we have summer clothes, there was a summer kimono made of ro and sha silk, and they were for only to be used for two months-July and August. Here is an interesting article describing them as well as the types of underwear to go with them. Labels: Japanese Clothing Styles

A few years ago I was lucky enough to take a class with John Marshall at the Wearable Art Conference in Santa Fe. In later years I have seen him at some of the larger quilt shows. He is a well known katazone dyer and makes the most fabulous clothes you can imagine which sell at the most expensive stores. I am referencing an interesting article which he recently wrote and illustrated on Japanese Clothing Styles. His book on the subject is a classic.
