Fashion Cantata from KYOTO is a fashion event designed to facilitate exchange between the elegant and graceful Japanese traditional kimono culture, in which Kyoto takes great pride, and the modern Western-style clothing and art cultures. The event aims to fuse these cultures together and disseminate information from Kyoto to a wide audience. This year marks its 29th anniversary. Since 2010, the Shiseido Beauty Creation Center has appointed Yumiko Kamada, a Shiseido Senior Hair & Makeup Artist, as the General Chief of hair and makeup for this event.

This article is a report on the event, focusing on the kimono runway.

Kimono Runway in Fashion Cantata from KYOTO

May you meet the true self within, the you that has not yet been revealed....
The Cantata Kimono Club (Cantata Wasou Bukai) offers a wide variety of unique kimonos.
Additionally, hair and makeup can help the wearers of these kimonos look attractive yet airy.

The key to this makeup is a beautiful, bright complexion, a dimensional eye look, and lips that complement the skin but still look elegant, while the hairstyle can express individuality in a variety of ways, from casual rolled twists to a glamorous updo.
