When dressmaker Michael Kannisto began a reluctant study of the Japanese kimono several years ago, he was quite unprepared for how this 1000-year-old traditional garment would change his life. Enjoy an hour of conversation as Morbid Anatomy founder Joanna Ebenstein and Michael explore the surprising overlap between kimono culture and Morbid Anatomy culture. Michael Kannisto is a designer and dressmaker who is interested in fashions from the 1940s to the 1960s. Much of his work involves re-purposing vintage Japanese kimonos; he finds that incorporating fabric from deconstructed kimonos into his own designs gives them an unexpected and unique twist.
