Inspirations

:School Uniform from Japan:

The constraining rules in Japanese middle and highschools have led students to be express themselves in a more settle way. I don't know if the tradition still exists, or if it is still considered to be cool to do so, but some students got embroideries on the inside of their uniforms. This is not just for the secrecy of their self-expression, but it is believed that this tradition comes from the edo period in Japan, when it was said to be very trendy to have more decorations on inside of the coats than the outside. It is about the moment of when the owner of such a coat takes it off when coming into the house of a gathering and the others notice the inside. Of course, the owner would take it off in a way that is modestly revealing the embroidery. The coat otherwise looks very normal. For the others, the person suddenly becomes a man of luxury from an average modest man only by a glimpse of the inside of the coat.
