The featured textile is FABRIC CARAVAN BY YURTAO, designed by textile designer, Momoko Kinoshita, from YURTAO, a brand that uses original textiles for its clothing and bags.
Kinoshita has traveled to so many places to encounter different kinds of fabrics. This series is filled with the scenes and moments that touched her during these trips.
She says, “The beauty of ethnic costumes and textiles come from the time and effort that were put into creating these pieces, unlike the products made in a capitalist society. A good example is a wedding costume – years are spent on spinning threads, dying, weaving and embroidering just to create a piece of textile. Additionally, the traditional patterns and designs born from nature are passed down from generation to generation, like from a mother to a child.
Regardless of country or region, from olden days people have used their imagination inspired by nature and reflected in the textiles. These universal and powerful pieces make us realize the instincts of humans that are passed down from the days when people were more associated with nature. The falling rain, layering leaves, growing vines, flowing waters and shining sun are all part of nature’s activities.
My motto in fabric creation is to simply express the things that are taken for granted, yet are important. Like the ladies I saw that day, standing in the green terraced field in pink ethnic costumes, I placed importance on the vividness of the color that stands out from the surrounding scenery.
I hope to share these special moments with people who choose FABRIC CARAVAN, the moment that touched my heart from my trips.”

A joyful textile collection from UK-based artists duo, Sarah Bellisario and Yoshie Allan is here!
Its theme is ‘The world of happy confusion’.
“In a magical garden, under a mysterious moon night, the dwarves, insects and animals are having their festival. A circus, dancing with beautiful wings, a wonderful tea party and endless chatter.
Humans have never known such a world of happy confusion!
Created by Sas and Yosh with their unique quirky collaborative illustration and colouring.”(Sas ans Yosh）

Continued from last column, we are introducing new designs from Irome, a Japanese four seasons themed fabric. This week the autumn and winter color fabrics are featured.

Autumn is a time of harvest. The nuts on the trees that are changing colors to purple and falling leaves that are turning mustard yellow are the inspiration behind this design. An item like a bag created with a slightly subdued color combination will be stylish.
