by Mr.andrew Caxton, Mr.

The trend of Oriental design is becoming extremely popular in America today. Not only in the decorative arts. but we are now seeing oriental clothing styles. tatoos. posters and other works. So many products are being influenced by age-old oriental design that it can really be said to be a trend. We can all appreciate the rich heritage of oriental art. especially when it is incorporated into the modern products used in western countries. Oriental rugs are a perfect example of this. Beautifully woven designs with an ageless artistic heritage are seen in more and more homes today. on the floors and even on the walls as tapestries.

Did you know that some of the oldest and most popular oriental designs are based on the Chinese alphabet? These characters are called Conji. and. unlike western alphabets. they are not letters. but rather ideograms. An ideogram is the symbol of a word or a concept. This kind of alphabet developed because of the far flung regions of China. Even people with different languages could communicate because they could understand the picture or ideogram of what was being depicted. Conji are very beautiful symbols and because of this have frequently been used in design. There is now even a trend to have Conji tatoos. Anyone who decides to have this done should be careful. If you are not sure of the correct Conji. you may end up with a symbol that you do not want. American tatoo artists rarely understand Conji. and just pick them out if they like the way they look. You may end up with an unflattering symbol on your body.

Oriental design is also frequently used in embroidery. The grace and curves of this design lend themselves very well to needlepoint work. unlike many western designs. We frequenly see oriental designs on dishes and serving pieces. as well as on furniture and other decorative items. There are many wallpaper designs that incorporate an oriental theme in the pattern; the famous French "toile" is a good example of this and it is seen in many very sophisticated drawing rooms. Korean blankets are an Asian product the exhibits beautiful oriental designs in a practical product that is warm. soft and very serviceable. Lovely scenes of nature. forests and animals cover these beautiful blankets.

If you want to recreate an oriental look in your home. you will have to obtain genuine oriental products. Luckily. the countries of the orient are big exporters of these products so they are easy to obtain. especially if you live in an area with a large Asian population. such as San Francisco.


Hailed as the most famous traveler in the world of fashion, Kenzo Takada currently offers a variety of fashion products and accessories to the public. He was born on February 27, 1939 in Tokyo, Japan, and studied in Bunka College of Fashion to obtain the fashion designer title. While working in the profession, he decided to establish his own company in Japan itself.

Kenzo first came out on the fashion scene in 1970 when he opened the Jungle Jap boutique in Paris. From that start, he decided to establish another fashion company under the name Rue Cherche Midi Boutique in 1972, which in turn was followed by Kenzo-Paris Boutique in the year 1983. Although running a number of businesses, Kenzo failed to make his own name that popular in the fashion field. It was only in 1983 when he first launched his men's wear collection that he came out as one of the most promising designers in the whole Paris. He expanded his businesses in other parts of France, including Saint Tropez, Aix en Provence, Lille, Bordeaux, and Lyon, as well in London, Milan, Copenhagen, and Tokyo; all happened in 1984 to 1985.

From those expansions, Kenzo was able to follow up his men's wear collection with a new addition, the women's wear. Both lines were introduced in 1986 along with the company's junior line and Kenzo jungle and jeans. What is more notable about Takada's line of men's wear is that he labeled this collection with the name: ?Around the World in Eighty Days?.

Since the company's inception, Kenzo Takada was and has been considered as the most prominent of the fashion designers who was able to travel to different areas in the world. He also is named as the most multicultural designer of the 20th century, and the most syncretistic, mainly because he insists on promoting a sense of compatibility and diversity on the ethnic fashion styles. Given that principle, it is no surprise for Kenzo to continually employ a combination of styles on all of his fashion works.

The different collections of Kenzo's fashion products and accessories are generally so vast. The most common of them are the Romanian peasant skirts and the Scandinavian sweaters of heavy weight. There are also the Mexican rebozos, which many consumers consider as one worth buying fashion item.

The collections of Kenzo Takada are not just limited to what has already been said. Also included in his own line of delicate fashion products and accessories are the sunshade-striped beach skirts that are Riviera inspired, the Chinese coodie look that comes highlighting a mix of Portuguese-styled purses, and the t-shirt dresses; all were introduced in 1975. Kenzo released its new collection of clothing that is inspired by the Native American designs. What is noted under this collection of Kenzo wear is its rich colors and textures. Then, there came the Egyptian inspired patterns and leanings, which is but followed by the African and Indian styles of clothing.

With all his interests and efforts in creating unique collections of fashion products, Kenzo Takada was able to establish about 37 boutiques in different areas in the world. He also has 124 sales outlets, which recently are acquired by the House of Louis Vuitton.
