Queenie4ever is proud to announce "The Kimono Project" Sustainable Earth Friendly Collection designed by Tatiana Mclane for EM Reconstruct. The project was inspired by my experiences as a student at Stanford University's 100% Sustainable Campus this past summer by an eco friendly fashion show hosted on campus. The decision to breathe life back into an old Kimono that traveled from a flea market in Japan to L.A. was easy. My passion for learning about Japanese culture brought me to Stanford to study Intensive Japanese Language. Living on a campus that promotes sustainabilty was a life changing experience. I wanted to do my part in Saving Our Planet. It seemed only fitting that as a fashion designer I could do my part by creating an earth friendly collection. My interest in Japanese traditional clothing led me to chose the Kimono as the piece to reconstruct. I am excited to debut "The Kimono Project" during L.A. Fashion Week. See the evite for details." I hope you enjoy watching footage from my runway show video!
