akiko Hamaoka sends us Cherry Blossoms and a Kimono Exhibition in Bagatelle in Bois de Boulogne
The real cherry blossoms From the mobile phone of Akiko Hamaoka
Marco de Rivera gives news on a Kimono Exhibition celebrating the 150th anniversary of Franco-Japonese Relations from May 16th to July 16th at the Trianon du Parc de Bagatelle. The gardens of the Bagatelle in the Bois de Boulogne have a lovely history, their flowers were orchestrated by Marie-Antoinette and the Compte d'Artois, this makes for the perfect setting for the exhibition of ancient and contemporary kimonas.
- wedding kimono from 19th century with cherry and peony flowers (satin de soie)
- contemporary kimono with branches from Junko Koshino
The kimonos are from the Museum of Costume of Bunka Gakuen created in 1979 by the group Bunka Gakuen founded in 1923.

i remember seeing that at bunka before.
just a note: kenzo, yohji and his daughter, the koshino sisters, etc, those great designers are the alumni of the bunka fashion college, not the university. (although the university is just next to the fashion college, but it's just way different.)
heh heh. sorry, just had to butt in and add that coz i'm so proud of my old school! :)
