Dreamy Drip and Fantasy Fits

Enter a world of sartorial fantasy through the archives of the Kyoto Costume Institute, where fashion provides a lens for exploring our innermost dreams and desires.

From luxurious historical garments to famous contemporary pieces, the displays feature a roll-call of fashion heavyweights — from Alexander McQueen to Yohji Yamamoto — and traverse centuries of style to examine the deep connection that clothing has with human nature and the self.

Is the art of dressing up adornment, or subversion? In a dream world, what would you choose to wear?
