HIROKO KOSHINO

In 1964, Hiroko Koshino opened her first and own boutique, COUTURE KOSHINO HIROKO, in Shinsaibashi, Osaka.

The store quickly gained popularity amongst individuals well-informed about the latest fashion trend, and the stylised European interiors that were highly unique at the time took the entire experience to a completely different level.

With every request that came in, Koshino personally crafted each piece with utmost detail, dedication, care and respect, effortlessly satisfying every client’s needs.

There now comes a time where we have the chance to witness these incredibly precious haute couture creations made by Hiroko Koshino herself, at the ‘Hanshin* Style from 1950 to 1970’ exhibition at the KOBE FASHION MUSEUM.

KH Gallery Ginza in Namiki Street, Ginza, presents variety of artworks of an artist Hiroko Koshino that match up with each season. Although Koshino had already used fabrics in collage or other techniques, she paused to focus on fabrics themselves for this exhibition and created a series of artworks mainly including relief-shaped ones, using forms of wrinkles and pleats. Her passion for beautiful forms as a fashion designer seems to go beyond the area of drawing and expand stories in the three-dimensional world of creation. Crystals of fabrics that Koshino had come to life embody a variety of animals and plants and eventually transform into innocent cavorting fairies who alight in the space.
A huge work and installation artworks that set a precedent for this series, which were exhibited at “BIWAKO BIENNALE 2014” held until November will also be exhibited at KH Gallery Ginza during the exhibition.
In this winter, listen to the whisper of fairies for a while and enjoy the new fantastic world of Hiroko Koshino.
