If you are looking for exhibitions in Mexico City for March, you will love this one. The Neo KIMONO exhibition comes to Mexico City as a visual experience that intertwines history, identity, and contemporary design through one of Japan’s most emblematic garments.
From March 6 to 15, the Casa de Carranza Museum opens its doors to this temporary exhibition led by Japanese designer Kumiko Iijima, who presents a collection of contemporary kimonos that reinterpret this traditional garment from a modern, sensitive, and deeply intercultural perspective.
A creative bridge between Japan and Latin America
As part of the LatiJapo project, Iijima explores the artistic exchange between Japan and Latin America.
Each design reflects a fusion of techniques, symbols, and narratives that cross oceans to meet on the fabric. The result: pieces that create a dialogue between tradition and urban culture, between the ancestral and the pop.
Born in Tokyo and trained at Bunka Fashion College, Iijima has worked in fashion, film, advertising, and on major international stages, including Olympic ceremonies and global exhibitions. Her style combines sophistication and fantasy, reinterpreting the kimono from a global perspective that has been recognized both inside and outside Japan.
Now based in Mexico City, the creator continues to weave cultural bridges that connect continents.
