HIROMI ASAI respects Japanese tradition and evolves traditional Japanese textiles to worldwide high fashion by progressive forms with all details inspired by Kimono.

"I am very excited to show our new collection. This collection was named THE KIMONO, as we created this collection as the culmination of what we did in several years." Ms. Hiromi Asai said. "We are always respectful to Japanese tradition, but I think that the essence of Kimono is in the fabrics rather than the form. I convince that we can finally evolve Japanese traditional textiles to luxury high fashion which people worldwide love and enjoy wearing."
