More Madoka established Colorful Boutique More, a vintage shop from the 1960s and 1970s, in Fukuoka in 2009. Her shop was filled with her favorite clothes, decorations, and music, and she wanted more people to know about their greatness. At the same time, she began learning how to wear a kimono and eventually obtained her instructor's license. Started kimono dressing classes in 2011. I love colorful, retro, and pop things, and I want to spread the idea that '`Kimono is also fashion'' and ``Fashion is a way to express yourself. Enjoy your own style.''
In 2018, she hosted numerous kimono events and began producing original kimonos through collaboration with kimono brands. I make kimono that I want to wear. Her original kimono designs are inspired by vintage clothing she has collected over 30 years, primarily from the 1960s and 1970s.
Now, as a longtime antique kimono collector and kimono dressing instructor, she is passionate about making antique kimonos more accessible around the world. There, she finally realized her long-held dream of incorporating authentic antique kimono fabrics into her clothing designs and creating a bridal lace kimono collection that combines the essence of kimonos and bridal dresses.
The theme of this collection is "From clothes to kimono" and "From kimono to clothes." I hope that people all over the world can enjoy ethnic costumes as fashion, and that the world will be filled with smiles.
