A fusion art designer, Shiori Watanabe presents their captivating new collection at Vancouver Fashion Week F/W 2018 Season (VFW). She says, “I used to work in the Historic Centre of Vienna for 15 years and was inspired by the art such as Art Nouveau, Baroque, and Gothic, which have a 2000-year-old history. I have also surrounded art during my time in Japan, and the traditional Japanese colors. I used to live in Ise, Kyoto which has the remains of old houses and buildings along the streets. I found inspiration in the woodblock print of Alfons Maria Mucha and Hokusai Katsushika. European and Japanese arts, especially unique shades of color and elaborated design from the past really inspire me.”
