On November 7th, in the Japanese American National Museum in downtown Los Angeles, Nisei Week will present a very exciting fashion event featuring Kimono SK. Sueko Oshimoto of Kimono SK is a world renown kimono stylist and designer. Her creations have been seen in numerous international fashion publications, films (most recent: Wolverine with Hugh Jackman and The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), television (J-Pop groups, commercials - Miranda Kerr last year) and music events and videos. Sueko has designed the Miss Japan Miss Universe national costume twice and has just been confirmed to design for the present Miss Japan Miss Universe.
