Hiroko Koshino skirt listed in a separate listing. 

Hiroko is highly regarded in the fashion world as a pioneer of reinventing traditional Japanese dress.  While her contemporaries favour the avant-garde, Hiroko creates wearable clothes based on ceremonial wear updated with more volume, natural materials, and assymetric designs.  Her hallmark is the modern reinterpretation of the kimono as well as gorgeous textiles and prints of her own design.  Hiroko paints; she owns a gallery; she is considered a master of calligraphy; and she plays the Japanese three-strings guitar.

Hiroko Koshino first showed in Paris after the breakthrough of the more avant-garde Japanese group in 1983. Many of Koshino's designs have elements in common with those of her sisters, Junko and Michiko. Although the three (and their mother, Ayako, also a designer) have led entirely separate careers.
