“I am excited to present our resort collection during Miami Swim Week. I hope many people enjoy resort life with our new collection after the pandemic era,”
Ms. Hiromi Asai, a designer of HIROMI ASAI said.
“I appreciate the great collaboration with craftsmen in Japan to create our resort collection. For our signature pieces, we create cobalt blue colored textiles, inspired by the seas in Tango and Miami Beach, which indeed connect each other in the globe although far away. Please try our elegant resort collection and feel breeze of the sea.”
Hiromi Asai added about HIROMI ASAI collection, “Indeed I have been focusing on Kimono, but now I focus on its `textile` not its `form.` It is our responsibility to hand over craftsmanship to the next generation. I continue transforming Japanese traditional textiles to modern luxury fashion, which also serves as echo-friendly sustainable fashion.”
