Fukuoka: Controversial Colorful Attire Makes Splash at N.Y. Fashion Week
KITAKYUSHU — Flamboyant attire, commonly worn by young people attending an annual coming-of-age ceremony in Kitakyushu, is a topic of conversation in the nation every year, but recently it made a splash at a fashion show in New York.
Miyabi’s Kokura main store, a rental costume shop in Kitakyushu, initially focused on bridal costumes, but about 20 years ago, it began producing distinctively designed traditional Japanese clothing for coming-of-age ceremonies such as leopard-print furisode long-sleeved kimono, haori robes and hakama pants.
Quite a few Japanese believe that coming-of-age ceremonies should be held solemnly and do not like to see clothes with such gaudy colors and eccentric patterns and shapes in the ceremonies. The store sometimes received phone calls criticizing its clothes with such comments as “They tarnish the image of Kitakyushu” and “They are embarrassing.” However, Miyabi Ikeda, the store’s manager, has continued to design such clothes.
“It’s rewarding to see young people’s joyful faces,” she said.
The reputation of Miyabi’s unique attire has now spread overseas. Last December, the store received an email from a Canadian management company inviting it to showcase its attire in New York Fashion Week, one of the world’s five major fashion showcases.
