Join us for an engaging conversation and kimono demonstration with collector and dealer Sue Castner, presented in conjunction with our special exhibition Kimono: The Triumph of Japanese Dress. Drawing from her experiences living and working in Japan, Castner will share personal stories, insights into the world of kimono collecting, and her deep appreciation for this enduring tradition. During the talk, local textile and art enthusiasts will model an exquisite selection of vintage and antique Japanese garments from Ms. Castner’s personal collection. Whether you’re a seasoned curator or just curious, discover how these timeless pieces can be effortlessly layered and accessorized to elevate your modern wardrobe and solve today’s fashion dilemmas.
