Next Kimono Platform: Redefining Tradition for Modern Life

KUDEN's Next Kimono Platform, designed by Takahiro Sato, is a revolutionary approach to preserving Japanese traditional kimono culture and sewing techniques. Inspired by the desire to revive the disappearing kimono culture and create meaningful employment opportunities, Sato's platform consists of three versatile pieces: the Samurai Mode Jacket, Samurai Mode Pants, and Samurai Mode Shirt. These pieces can be worn as a full kimono set or individually with everyday outfits, making kimono wear more accessible for daily life.

The platform aims to increase the demand for traditional kimono and provide fair wages for sewing factory workers. By reimagining the kimono as a modern, everyday garment, KUDEN's Next Kimono Platform seeks to revitalize interest in traditional kimono while promoting ethical and sustainable fashion practices.

Utilizing innovative materials like Soaron, the platform offers comfortable and functional designs suitable for global daily wear. The Next Kimono Platform is a testament to KUDEN's commitment to social design and ethical fashion, addressing critical social issues while promoting cultural preservation and inclusivity.
