The Kimono has a long and rich history dating back over one thousand years. Each Kimono requires hours of work by hand, however, it is the ultimate eco-friendly garment as Kimonos are passed down from generation to generation.

MODE & CLASSIC sublimes the Japanese exquisite style to the global fashion arena and promotes new elegant fashion styles, Fusion. These styles show the Kimono in a new light while continuing to respect the valued tradition it embodies.

- About Brooklyn (BK) Fashion Weekend -

Brooklyn (BK) Fashion Weekend presented by Brooklyn Style Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit, found in late 2004, has emerged as a powerful new showcase for fashion talent on the verge of stardom in New York. To overcome the dearth of opportunity and the difficulty in breaking into the fashion business, Brooklyn Style Foundation provides various opportunities for designers, stylists and models to present their talents and works to ensure that they can make a living from the work they love. BK Fashion Weekend, expanding rapidly, should be comparable to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week (New York) in the near future.
