Scene D’uno 2010 collection of Japanese wedding kimono robes or uchikake may be a continuation of previous years’ bold theme in terms of colors (see last year’s wedding dresses), but we also see the introduction of pretty ruffles and textures, making this the most visually stunning collection to date. Once again Uno Kanda models her own designs beautifully. This pale yellow creation looks like a delicate exotic flower in bloom, complete with fluttering butterflies and leopard print trim!
Using a traditional western wedding dress fabric — lace instead of silk or satin usually utilized for traditional kimonos — for the bridal coat, a truly unique fusion modern kimono is born. Don’t you just love the purple on lavender color scheme?
Wait, where are the cute wedding dresses, you ask? Pink, polka dots, ruffles and bows in one kimono robe. Altogether now… KAWAII!!!
We really love this luxurious light blue and green dress combination with painted peacock motif.
Black, pink and animal print obi sash for a punk rock bride. Don't forget the lace fingerless glove and paper fan with matching tassels!
Pink ruffle-trimeed bridal kimono and ceremonial coat with adorned with flowers. Red paper parasol completes the look.
