Hiroko Koshino has been designing stage costumes for Ms. Sai Yanguang, a China-born and Tokyo-based coloratura soprano, for some 10 years. The newest design is from the designer's 2012 Spring/Summer collection with some arrangement to make it into a voluminous long dress. Hiroko is proud that the costume highlights Ms. Sai's elegant beauty.
The dress was shown for the first time in a concert given at an event organized by a big business in Tokyo last month, and on February 9th, Ms. Sai will sing some songs from "La Traviata" at a dinner show commemorating the 20th anniversary of Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Chinzan-so. See her official website below for the details. When you have a chance to hear her beautiful voice, we are honored if you turn your attention to her dress as well.
