Sara Sakanaka's way of unpicking the past to sew new seeds for the future is communicated through one-of-a-kind pieces hand-stitched from Japanese silk kimonos. Given the limited width of these textiles - measuring at just 14 inches - she must unravel them before skilfully engineering to create a cohesive whole. This robe, which is stitched, numbered and signed by hand, takes approximately 80 hours to make, utilising fabric sourced from 1930s-1960s Japan. Inside, find her signature in the form of a handmade pressed flower, an emblem inspired by her grandmother's love of chrysanthemums.
