Kyoto!

Hey guys!


I just thought all of you should know about the Kyoto Costume Institute! This institute has an unbelievably extensive collection of vintage garments raging from the early 1700’s to the turn of the past century. They are also considered one of the leading costume museums in the world. Here’s their website! Feel free to explore!

They also have a few published books featuring their most exquisite garments. I HIGLY recommend these books to any costume enthusiast. These images were taken from the Fashion Volume 1 (Taschen 25th Anniversary) Book.

    I think if you and Hannah are ever stranded in Kyoto, you might just move in there. You'd be in sartorial heaven.
