Description
Cheryl Niamath explains her inspiration for this peek-a-boo vented skirt: “In Japan, you are constantly surprised by shades of red: in a crowd of dark suits on the rush hour Yamanote train to Tokyo, the unexpectedness of shocking scarlet nail polish on a demure school girl; in the countryside near Kyoto, glimpses of vermilion gates through the bamboo forest around the Fushimi Inari Shrine; the flash of tangerine koi beneath coral leaf lotus blossoms in the dark water of a pond in a formal Roppongi Hills garden.”
