Welcome!!
In front of the mirror,
I work with the wooden mannequin on which I directly sculpt the dress form by the fabric.
The dress has 360 degrees awareness.
( Fukuko Ando )
My favorite sentence
What I made was harmony:
An ensemble of shapes and colors that would never change nor age.
It’s not just for a month or a year, but forever.

Mandala Lotus
I am working on a new series of dresses inspired by the Mandala Lotus flower
I follow the fabric’s waves of movement intuitively. From action to response, the story of this dress is being written, moment to moment, as each change and response happens.
My hands have to see and grasp the story that the fabric is telling. The fabric takes on a life of its own, with new mandalas flowering in it, one after another.

Here you can find my creation process :
“Blessings of the Lotus Flower“
When I was little, I read the story of Chūjō-hime (747–775). And I was very impressed.I always remembered that I longed for the process that the lotus thread was pulled out, and when it touched flowers of various colors, the thread was dyed like a dream and the mandala was completed.
