Ceremony for Your Sunday Best

コロナ禍で活躍できなかった晴れ着を身に付けて、一同に集まりお披露目する。それは、特定のイベントのために同じような格好をした人たちが集まる光景とは違って、ありえたかもしれないイベントごとに異なる目的を持った異なる見た目の晴れ着姿が、その個別の物語とともに一同に会するファッションの祭典。

In this workshop, people put on their Sunday best—something that the pandemic prevented for many—and come together to show themselves off. But unlike the spectacle of people gathering for a particular event in the same style of clothing, this is a fashion festival in which people assemble in their finest clothes along with the individual stories of their varying attire that were intended for different events that might have happened.
