Nisei Week’s fashion show took place this past Sunday at the Omni Hotel, in Downtown Los Angeles. Attendees were treated to a great afternoon of fashion and laughs. MC-ed by Helen Ota and Rodney Kageyama, the fashions ranged from traditional kimono to the latest styles for children, women and men. The participating designers included A. to RI. E, Citron, Ryan Roberts, Krista Larson and Nutmeg.
The children’s designs were a big hit with the crowd, when these three little tykes modeled the clothing.
