Contemporary Geisha Couture

The Tome Fall/Winter 2013 Lookbook Highlights a Japanese Inspiration

— February 12, 2013 — Pop Culture
The Tome Fall/Winter 2013 collection turned heads as it took to the runway stage at New York fashion Week. The label's latest lookbook marks a contemporary take on classic Japanese silhouettes that marry past and present style references.

Channeling modern-day Geishas, models sport an array of exaggerated volumes and simplistic silhouettes that pay homage to traditional Japanese robe garments. Tome design duo Ramon Martin and Ryan Lobo's latest womenswear collection takes inspiration from the wardrobe of legendary American painter Georgia O'Keeffe who was known for her distinctive style sense.

Recognized for her various painted artworks, O'Keeffe's abstracted still life pieces are referenced and mirrored in this collection's exploration of cocoon shapes and delicately demure design details.
Trend Themes
1. Contemporary Geisha Fashion - Incorporating elements of traditional Japanese robe garments with modern silhouettes, there is an opportunity for designers to create innovative and culturally-inspired fashion pieces.
2. Japanese-inspired Silhouettes - The use of exaggerated volumes and simplistic silhouettes in contemporary fashion opens up possibilities for designers to create unique and eye-catching designs.
3. Abstract Still Life Influence - Drawing inspiration from abstracted still life pieces, designers can create fashion collections that feature cocoon shapes and delicately demure design details, lending a fresh artistic touch to their creations.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - The fashion industry can capitalize on the trend of incorporating traditional Japanese elements in modern designs to create unique and culturally-influenced clothing lines.
2. Art - Artists can explore the fusion of abstract still life influences with fashion to create visually striking pieces that blur the lines between art and clothing.
3. Textile Manufacturing - Textile manufacturers have the opportunity to produce fabrics that capture the essence of Japanese-inspired silhouettes, allowing designers to bring their innovative fashion concepts to life.
