Kimono Fashion
Decorate a room in oriental style, then choose makeup and a kimono to match the setting you built.
DL-studio starts this one in the room rather than the wardrobe. Interior items are placed first, and the resulting setting is the backdrop every later choice is made against — which makes the decor stage load-bearing rather than optional.
Makeup comes second and spans a genuinely wide range, from classic and restrained to bright and deliberately eye-catching. Choosing which end to work at is the real decision, because the kimono that follows has to agree with it.
The kimonos themselves are the centrepiece, and their patterns are elaborate enough that accessories should stay minimal. A heavily patterned garment against a decorated room is already a lot of information, and the small pieces are there to finish rather than to add.
Controls
Place interior items first, then work through makeup, kimono and accessory panels.
How to Play
- Decorate the room and settle the palette.
- Choose makeup at either the classic or the bright end and commit.
- Pick a kimono whose pattern agrees with both.
- Add accessories sparingly.
Tips & Tricks
Keep the room quieter than the kimono. The garment carries the most pattern of anything on screen, and a busy interior behind it flattens the whole composition.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I decorate the room as well?
Yes — interior items are placed first and the room becomes the backdrop for everything after.
How wide is the makeup range?
From classic and restrained through to bright and deliberately bold, and the kimono choice should follow it.
