Elein Fleiss
L’Hiver / Diana, Flore
We are pleased to present Elein Fleiss’s exhibition “L’Hiver / Diana, Flore” at Elbereth, Kyoto.
Elein co-founded the magazine Purple, which she edited from the 1990s through the early 2000s, followed by Purple Journal from 2003 to 2007. Currently living in a country town in the southwest of France, she continues her engagement with writing and photography. For these exhibitions in Tokyo and Kyoto, she will showcase a new body of work, a combination of photographs and vintage clothing. To coincide with these exhibitions, a booklet entitled L’Hiver will be published. L’Hiver interweaves selections from the past two decades of her diary writing along with her photographic works. COSMIC WONDER’s “THAT OLD MAGIC” Autumn / Winter collection can also be viewed in the same exhibition.
We look forward to your visit.

New Arrivals
COSMIC WONDER
THAT OLD MAGIC
We are pleased to announce the new arrivals of “THAT OLD MAGIC” A|W collection at COSMIC WONDER Online Shop.
The Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is renowned for its excellent cashmere. This fine white cashmere is spun and dyed in Japan and blended with silk. The wholegarment knitting process provides excellent comfort. Cashmere silk can be worn in all seasons. The collection includes a sweater, a sweater dress, and tenugui.
Shetland sheep, native to the Shetland Islands of Scotland, are nurtured in a harsh environment, resulting in a wool with a rustic look, soft touch, and great warmth. Shetland wool is slowly spun on an 18th century English-style spinning machine developed in the early Industrial Revolution, and then woven into a herringbone pattern on shuttle looms powered by hand weaving principles.
The collection includes a dolman sleeve coat.
