Fashion and art come together this Saturday night in The Orientique, a fun and dynamic evening of fashion, wearable art, music and performance in a dazzling venue (Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden).
Featuring designs by Yasuhiro Tomita of Rukus, Terry Sasaki, and Akihiko Izukura. A fusion of Western and Eastern influences and old and new Japan, The Orientique will throb to sounds and beats from DJ LKS and feature performances by musician Caroline Jang and dancers Ralph Escamillan and Katerina Leppan. Curated by Yuriko Iga, produced by Studio Keiko and Blim, and presented by the Powell Street Festival, The Orientique introduces a new vision of fashion design work that crosses over into the realm of wearable art.
