Flower of Life
The second outfit is from COSMIC WONDER's fall/winter collection, Days of Light.
Introducing the Flower of Life sashiko dress .
A beautiful dress made from organic cotton with a fluffy silhouette.
The body is warmly wrapped in overlapping thick fabric, giving the garment a three-dimensional appearance.
A sacred geometric pattern that is said to represent the universe and the source of life.
For example, it is said to represent the shapes of plant clusters, seeds, and the things that make up our bodies that exist in nature.
It is decorated with sashiko patterns featuring the Flower of Life, which is a representative example of this design.
Sashiko is made with threads of similar colors and patterns emerge when you look closely.
It is so delicate that you might not even notice it is there, yet it is reassuring to know that it is there.
Arisa Kawai will be releasing her first CD through Utsushiki.
This dress was chosen by chance as the outfit for the photo shoot.
The Flower of Life has many hidden forms.
One theory is that it represents the cycle of life.
The seed of beginnings, the tree of growth, the flowers that bloom and the fruit that grows
Then it comes to an end and new life begins.
There are some strong similarities to Arisa's work.
Once you've finished, be sure to listen carefully to the lyrics of the song.
The new, soft, swaddling clothes are reassuringly protective.
This is a piece that can become a talisman when worn.
Try this combination at the end of autumn when the leaves change color and turn yellow and brown.
Paired with a pale mud-dyed haori coat from COSMIC WONDER's "Usuhanasome."
