Tech Fashion

As part of Japan’s Fashion Week, fashion designer Emiko Miki fused high tech with high fashion by sending Japanese models down the catwalk adorning electronic gadgets such as a “charcoal gray kimono-style dress, patterned with colorful dragons, twinned with a slim, futuristic backpack fitted with a TV screen that beamed psychedelic images.”

Miki stated:

“I think high-tech is something unique to Japan and when I am carrying a gadget overseas, people love it because I’m Japanese and they think the high-tech stuff that I carry matches me. That’s how I got my inspiration.”
