Pair your Dahlia Drive Lotus Kimono with Dahlia Drive Tarragon, Heart or Coal Lace Piano Pants or the Dahlia Drive Dot Piano Pants. A complete outfit!
The lotus image is screened onto a paper canvas of a dried painted line of ‘tarragon’ and dots of ‘heart’. The kimono is laid flat on the canvas and wrapped like origami. Pinned in place, an inverse painting of the lotus on ‘coal’ (like its reflection in the water) is pinned onto the front. The ‘sandwich’ is heat-set and when unfolded, the kimono reveals the lotus’s story; the darkness from which it grows, the stem that rises through the water, the seeds of life which shine within it and the flower rising to blossom, its petals migrating into the sleeves like rays of sun.
“If you feel lost, disappointed, hesitant or weak, return to yourself, to who you are here and now. When you get there you will discover yourself like a lotus flower in full bloom, even in a muddy pond, beautiful and strong.” Masaru Emoto
