Modern Kimono

Modern Kimono or lingerie type of Kimono was the controversy that was caused by Japan’s representative for the Ms Universe Pageant.   Representing the national costume in leather - one would have thought Ms Emiri Miyasaka was representing an anti aging product instead eh.

The costume was designed by Yoshiyuki Ogata, the designer/owner of the designer brand “Yoshiyuki.”

Kimonos are supposed to be the symbol of the “Modest Japanese Woman.” But ,this is reminiscent of the costumes worn by the girls from “Soap Land” in Yoshiwara. Yoshiyuki Ogata has gotten more than 1000 protests over this all leather kimono costume and is albeit reveling in the publicity. The biggest complaint comes from the company in Ginza that donated the “obi” belt for the kimono without knowing the designer’s full intentions.
