Over the past weeks we have been sharing fragments from STILL STORY: COLOUR, the second chapter in the Still Story series created by photographer Agenda Brown. This second part returns us to Alice, where colour is worn, felt, and brought into daily life. Colour is held against the body, in fabric, in objects, alongside the materials from which it emerges.

STILL STORY I: BACKCASTING was the first chapter with Alice, a reflection on memory and the creative life. A way of understanding how the past continues to shape the present, and how early influences endure. The second chapter, STILL STORY: COLOUR, moves this thinking from origin into expression, from memory into material. For us, colour has never been decorative. It is a language that holds emotion, instinct, and narrative, drawing on a lifelong immersion in books, pattern, and imagination, and finding form through the discipline of making.

STILL STORY was Agenda’s vision: to portray artists and visionaries in a way that encapsulates their practice as well as their image. He had a rare ability to create space for reflection, allowing ideas to surface with clarity and depth through his lens.

Seen together, these two parts form a complete gesture; colour as it is made, and colour as it is lived. A portrait, and a language of expression.

📸A happy customer chose a circa 1930s silk kimono with an abstract chrysanthemum motif, paired with a kaku-obi, to attend a birthday party.🎂

💡After the party, he’s thinking of getting a women’s obi so he can share the kimono with his partner. Love this idea!
Have a great time at the party first and see you soon.

She chose the circa 1920’s silk kimono, which features KAIOKE (貝桶, trinket box for matching decorative shells). Kaioke is an auspicious pattern symbolising the success of a good relationships and marriage. 🐚🎁

The Skylark (Hibari) and auspicious motif bkack silk skirt was upcycled from vintage kurotomesode kimono. I hope she enjoy!

Some other kimonos departed this week;
🐢🦅The "crane and turtle つるかめ” pattern on kimonos is also a top-of-the-line auspicious motif that symbolizess longevity, marital harmony, and wealth, just as the saying goes, "Cranes live for a thousand years, and turtles for ten thousand." 🫶

This Crane & Turtle and the scychedelic red roses and peonies kimono were from a Japanese painter then now belong to a British band rockstar. 🎨🖼️🎤🎸 ⚡️

🏵️The Green ITOGIKU long petal chrysanthemum kimono - Itokiku is also a top-class auspicious pattern (lucky design) that symbolizes "eternal youth and longevity," "good health and protection from illness,” and “warding off evil spirits." This one is flying to Mexico for the birthday girl 🥰

Come and blouse, try and find your kimono. Hope to see you this Saturday. 　

Happy Easter🐣
