Per chi vuole conoscere la storia dietro a questo costume, in inglese, ecco a voi lo spiegone (in meno di 250 parole):
“At the end of 2019 I went into a fabric shop. While buried in a mountain of fabrics remnants a light blue one called my name: it was a beautiful cotton printed fabric with white cranes on it that reminded me of Hokusai blue paintings. I gazed at my friend and I said "this screams Tea Gown!". But I didn't buy it.
Months later I went back to that shop and I saw a lady in the act of buying it. the saleswoman said it was the last piece and I was desperate.
But then I looked around and I saw a glimpse of light blue: THAT was the last piece, and it was waiting for me.
There's a book, the Crane Girl, inspired by a Japanese folk story about a boy who saves a trapped crane. Then the night before a girl knocks to his door asking for hospitality. It is the disguised crane that helps him weave beautiful fabrics until he discovers her secret and she has to fly away, but he decides to follow her and turns himself into a crane.
Thus my idea was to interpret this girl in a Victorian Tea gown.
I've always had a special connection with cranes: I studied bird migration at university and I hadn’t been able to see them in nature for a long time
Then one day I caught them in flight: I can still hear their calls in my mind. It's the most beautiful sound on earth.”
