At Atsu Nishikawa, we do not "make dresses from kimonos," but rather, "dresses that fuse kimonos and dresses (Japanese and Western)." If you are particular about your style, if you don't want to wear the same dress as someone else, or if you want to create an original design, please feel free to contact us. In addition to Japanese-style dresses, we also create many other types of dresses. Create a one-of-a-kind dress together with designer Atsu Nishikawa. Rental, custom rental, and custom sales are available.

Ms. Minako Aikawa
The dress was completely custom-made by Atsu Nishikawa, who has been involved in sustainable efforts such as making dresses from recycled kimonos. The variety of organic cotton fabrics available on the market is very limited, with only two or three options available. As a result, an elegant pale pink dress was completed using organic cotton fabric with two certification marks, OEKO-TEX® and Organic Content Standard. Thank you very much to Nishikawa for creating this dress within the limited time frame.

Wakasa-san Singer Wakasa won a special prize at Amateur Night Japan 2019 on the stage of the Apollo Theater in New York, and received a ticket to represent Japan at the Apollo Theater in New York. I was so moved and inspired by the sight of Wakasa singing passionately in a special version of Atsu's Japanese dress that stood out on the stage in New York that I was also inspired to create. Fly out into the world, Wakasa-chan! I will continue to support you.
