"Dress cord? - A Game for the People Who Wear It"

At the beginning of July, I went to see an exhibition called ``Dress cord.'' Actually, I would like to go sooner, but due to the coronavirus, the event period has changed.

Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery (about 1 minute from Hatsudai Station)

I think reservations are required, so please check the exhibition website! Fashion is not only about "wearing" but also "seeing/being seen." Fashion doesn't just mean trendy clothing and styles; it's also associated with certain cultures and customs. In order to convey that message, approximately 300 pieces of work have been collected for this <Dress cord>.

1st floor – main clothing display

Works by various famous designers are on display. In addition to Japanese brands, we also include overseas brands.

As a former cosplayer this is one of my favorites lol

2nd floor - Fashion-related art works

In addition to clothing, the ``Dress cord'' exhibition reveals fashion from the perspective of art.

There is a museum shop where you can buy souvenirs.

What do you all think?

Opportunities like this don't come around very often, so I highly recommend it, especially for people who love fashion. Most events and exhibitions have been canceled due to the coronavirus. The fashion industry is also becoming more and more digital. Everyone, please don't forget to wear a mask when you go out.
