Rey Aoi KIMONO ARTCOUTURE
"A New Era of Kimono: From Japanese Kimono to Global Fashion"

Developed by designer, Rey Aoi, "Kimono Artcouture" is an artistic entertainment that uses an original fashion method to rearrange the "kimono," a proud symbol of traditional Japanese beauty, without cutting or sewing the fabric. The result is a stunning transformation into a variety of dress silhouettes. The technique is both sustainable and achieves overwhelming glamour with beautiful style.

Music and Fashion

Music and fashion have long been closely linked, with both industries having significant influence on each other. As part of the 2023 KMC Entertainment Expo, KMC brought together live musical performance and fashion modeling as a presentation for marketing TOKKOU fashion.


Music With Fashion

For 2026, KMC will expand on that concept with kimono fashion and African fashion among others, by featuring both musicians and fashion models interacting on stage as a unique style of collaborative entertainment. Select artists will have a chance to not only perform and promote their music, but also do it while wearing a stylish outfit on stage!
