Textile artists and students transformed kimonos and sashes into runway-ready garments, on display at the Japanese Friendship Garden. The show runs through Feb. 24, with a free guided tour on Feb. 22.
Lazear paired 19 fashion design students with 19 textile artists and challenged them to come up with a piece of wearable art, each using one randomly assigned kimono or sash, plus embellishments of their choice. The show, which features 20 pieces — including one by Lazear and her teammate — is on display at the Japanese Friendship Garden Society of San Diego in Balboa Park through Feb. 24. Lazear will lead a guided tour on Wednesday, Feb. 22 at 3 p.m.
This garment, designed by Anna Walden and stitched by Marty Ornish is part of Kimono Reimagined, a collaborative project between students of the Fashion Program at Mesa College, members of Visions Museum of Textile Art and the Japanese Friendship Garden in Balboa Park, shown here on Sunday, February 5, 2023. The garments are on display at the Inamori Pavilion in the Japanese Friendship Garden through Feb 24th.

In his native Vietnam, he added, “It’s happening the same way,” Thai said. “We have Vietnamese dress — very traditional — and now we have new designers who give it a twist and then give it modern look. And I think the young really like that. I think it just connects old and new.”“This is unbelievably amazing,” Leachman said. “The concept, and the execution, and the collaboration. It’s just a mind-boggling display.
