TENTH ANNIVERSARY, ART TOWER MITO
Millennium Collections: Tokyo, Paris, Thailand, New York, and Japan
The 21st century will be an age in which the importance of national borders will increasingly lessen in the sphere of cultural activities,
with people adopting a global perspective in their outlook and thought.
The format of fashion, as well, will no longer follow the traditional categories of city or country,
but will move along global lines, with the representative "maisons" of each country employing designers of different nationalities as a matter of course.
The current project has invited prominent designers from Europe, the United States, Asia,
and Japan to show their works in the style of a fashion show.
Get a close look at the upcoming 21st century through the works of the fashion trailblazers of today.
Show III: "Thai Silk through the Millennium - from Thailand"
April 16, 2000 (Sun) 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m.

Each garment has it's own interesting details and characters,
like folding of fabric or facing in a different colour.
This detailing creates new dimension to a simple garment.
