To continue the series of  ”Tell Us a Story”,  we asked Designerpete Enyo to add his creativity to June Dion’s in order to illustrate the making of this incredible kimono called “I Only Said I Love You”

I ONLY SAID….

The Orian style kimono was made for the 4th aniversary of the store. I have created similar outfits for each annual show. The kimono wearer is coverd by two kimono. One side is exposed, sheer similar to underwear. The hair pin featured Shamisen guitar parts, which Oiran play during a performance.  The title was taken from the song ‘My Bloody Valentine’, my most favourite music, the lyrics being well-suited for Orian, as they are prisoners of the brothels.  She can not ask for help, even if she has fallen in love with a man. The Chain and Mouth Mascot symbolized the hard life they live.
