Stephanie Bailly's snaps of vintage kimonos worn in modern ways make us want to buy a ticket to Harajuku, stat.
Name: Stephanie Bailly. Lives: Melbourne. How long have you been taking photos for? Since I was sixteen. Tell us about this particular project: The Kimono Project is the idea of my friend Yumi, a make up artist. In Tokyo, there are so many different fashion styles and subcultures. Today, Tokyo girls wear kimonos to create a modern-vintage vibe with their outfits, combining antique kimonos and obis with modern western accessories to translate their look into daily fashion. Where can we see more of your work? Photography: Stephanie Bailly. Kimono Stylist: Sala Okabe. Hair and make up: Yumi Conaghty.
