As a Fabric Jockey, Asako Iwamizu is known for her "Kimekomi Art," which combines traditional kimekomi techniques with fabric scraps and remnants to create compelling artwork that connects fabrics and their cultures worldwide.

This solo exhibition will showcase new Kimekomi works using Japanese and British fabrics, allowing visitors to learn about the history and context of these materials and experience cross-cultural exchange through interactive workshops. Kimekomi Art has previously collaborated with fabric manufacturers both in Japan and abroad to promote the charm of fabric. Now, the goal is to foster cross-cultural exchanges by uniting people through fabrics with diverse cultural backgrounds. Hosting the exhibition in the UK—a global fashion capital that balances tradition and innovation—will provide an international dialogue centered around fabric.

The exhibition aims to create new connections among Japanese and British fabric manufacturers, designers, and industry professionals.

The exhibition is open to the public from 13th May till 25th May.
Workshops are held on 17th & 18th May.
