Comfy, Stylish clothes
for every season!
Separates are what Japanalia
is all about...versatile tops & bottoms coordinate in stylish
ways that take you through your day and an occasion in graceful
comfort...interchangeable pieces in fine, and often exotic, fabrics help
define the wearer...makes Japanalia a perfect destination for play,
business, Mother of the Bride and special occasion dressing.
Courting "Mommyhood"? Try us on for size!
MEN?...wear a skirt if you
will, but every fabric group has styles that cross gender lines,
satisfying the person who wants more than just polo ponies on his
chest! Loose, comfortable, simple lines in unusual fabrics
make most styles accessible to both women and men. Shirts
& jackets wrap left over right, a signature of traditional
kimono...so SHARE!
Jackets, Jackets, Jackets...Fleece,
corduroy, wool, silk, appliquéd cropped, car length, knee length.
Fleece is cozy, warm, light weight & easy care...pullovers and
separates!

statement, providing a clean background for great ACCESSORIES!...LIKE...
Jessica Beels's beaded
trapeze earrings and necklaces or lacquered & gilded paper pieces;
heirloom & semi-precious constructions by Denise Petersen.
Irene Reed's icon pendants & imaginative necklaces...& dichronic
glass beads by Dennis Peabody
porcelain pins, earrings by Chris London; & funky earrings by
Zei or Ellen...
KIMONO is, of course, what
originally inspired JAPANALIA. The national costume of JAPAN, these
garments are made from humble cottons, linens, wools, or silks that can
cost more than your car! Not always as wearable these days in the
traditional form, we think the sumptuous kimono fabrics are
fabulous appliquéd to tunics, jackets, coats...a continuing Japanalia
signature that can be customized in colors to suit your fashion
palate!
Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, weddings, or a dress-to-impress event coming up?
Black, purple, olive, brown, grey, washable slinky jersey faille separates are
versatile, fit well, and become the perfect simple background for a
fabulous jacket, vest or jewelry.
From our stores, studio, or on the road: We enjoy working with you...Eiko, Ellen,
Karin, Georgianna, Larry, Donna, Laura, Sue, Jose....
See you at a show!
Bye! Dan
P.S. & speaking of shows...Besides my
longstanding relationship with the Theater at the Wadsworth Atheneum
Museum of Art, collaborating with musical son Tei Blow & "fantasy maker"
Anne Cubberly, I'm producing 6 intimate evenings in a Cabaret setting at
the store in Hartford again in 2010. Audrey Lavine & Ross Patterson will once again grace our "stage", as well as Baby Jane
Dexter, Diane Mower & Norman Johnson, XyEli to name a few.
Please join us at these delightful intimate gatherings for 50 & revisit
the spirit of live entertainment up-close and personal...at "Cafe Eiko"!
Schedule to follow soon....
