The Kyoto Costume Institute (KCI) is a fashion research organization
that is home to a vast collection of both Western and Japanese clothing
dating from the 2000s back to the 1600s, including numerous examples
from haute couture designers such as Chanel and Balenciaga. Those who
are unable to attend one of the institute's exhibitions in person would
do well to visit their extensive digital archives. Organized
chronologically and available in both Japanese and English, these
archives enable visitors to browse centuries of sartorial history to
their hearts' content. Upon arrival, readers will find a randomly
generated selection of 12 items, which they can refresh via a button in
the upper right, or they can choose a specific time period from the list
on the left. Each item has a short yet detailed description, a
beautiful photograph, and information about its date and place of origin
as well as its materials. While some Japanese clothing is included in
the KCI's collections, most of the pieces are from Western makers, a
curatorial decision made by the institute's director and curator
emeritus, Akiko Fukai, due to the absence of a research center in Japan
that focused on Western fashion.
