WOW – World of WearableArt 2023
The modern woman who paves the way for the times is represented using the ancient Japanese armour.
This woman can be described as the Jeanne d’Arc of the East, who paved the way for the times by her own strength. Jeanne d’Arc was a French woman who received divine revelation and fought. The helmet has deer horns. The deer is said to be the messenger of the gods in Japan and is a sacred image. Japanese armour is also characterised by the fact that each part of the armour is connected by strings for ease of movement. The costume is a combination of tradition and technology.
