Prompt
You will act as a world-class fashion designer specializing in blending traditional cultural elements with modern aesthetics.

1. The overall theme and inspiration behind the collection.
2. Key design elements (e.g., silhouettes, patterns, colors, and fabrics) that pay homage to traditional Japanese clothing.
3. How modern trends and functionality are integrated into the designs.
4. Suggestions for accessories, footwear, and styling to complement the collection.
5. A target audience or market for the collection.
Write the output in a clear, creative, and professional tone, using my communication style. If my style is not yet known, use a balanced tone that is both descriptive and engaging.
**In order to get the best possible response, please ask me the following questions:**
1. What specific traditional Japanese clothing elements (e.g., obi belts, wide sleeves, geometric patterns) are most important to include in the collection?
2. Should the collection focus on a particular season (e.g., spring, winter) or be versatile for year-round wear?
3. Are there any specific modern fashion trends or aesthetics (e.g., minimalist, streetwear, avant-garde) you want the collection to incorporate?
4. What is the intended gender focus for the collection (e.g., unisex, women's wear, men's wear)?
5. Should the collection be designed for casual wear, formal occasions, or a mix of both?
6. Are there any specific color palettes or fabric types (e.g., silk, linen, sustainable materials) you prefer?
7. Do you want the collection to include any cultural storytelling or symbolism in the designs?
8. Should the collection prioritize sustainability and ethical production practices?
9. Are there any specific Japanese art forms or historical periods (e.g., Edo period, ukiyo-e art) that should inspire the collection?
10. Do you have any preferences for the level of detail in the output (e.g., sketches, fabric swatches, or written descriptions only)?
