Wyoming Cowboys Camouflage Vintage Hawaiian Shirt . As his career took flight, Zarny launched his eponymous label in 2011, a year before finally securing Japanese nationality. The fledgling designer gifted 70 longyi — a traditional garment that ties at the waist — to Myanmar democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi. She wore a lilac one to accept the Nobel Peace Prize in 2012, a moment which Zarny said “changed my life”.Alongside his catwalk endeavours over the following years, Zarny acted as a mediator between Japan and Myanmar. He even accompanied Japan’s Princess Yoko of Mikasa — dressed in a Zarny original — on a visit there in 2019. Now, with Suu Kyi detained since Myanmar’s 2021 coup, he is raising funds for others escaping his native country.When the junta seized power, Zarny received a stream of messages asking for help. “So many refugees from Myanmar came to Thailand, at the border,” said the 39-year-old. He sprang into action, working with the United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR) and organising events in Tokyo. “Myanmar people lost their pride, they are sad. So I want to show my fashion power, to give them confidence and a brave heart.”

The Covid-19 pandemic put a stop to jet-set parties, decimating demand for his expensive clothes and eventually forcing him to abandon his showroom in Tokyo’s high-end Omotesando district. One of his top clients — politician Shinzo Abe, for whom he made suits — resigned as prime minister in 2020 and was shot dead two years later.But Zarny is no stranger to starting over and has branched out into interior design. He also made a suit for the captain of the refugee Olympic team ahead of the upcoming Games in Paris, where he hopes to one day present a collection. These days Zarny runs his studio from a compact apartment in northern Tokyo, where dozens of small paintings showing bucolic scenes of Myanmar adorn the walls. “My grandfather, who was an art professor, made these watercolours for me when I was a child, because I was missing Myanmar,” he said.The recent show in Bangkok has generated demand from Thai customers, leading Zarny to reflect on his roots. “I was always thinking: where am I from? Am I a Japanese designer, or something else?” he said. “I realised finally ‘I’m from Southeast Asia’,” Zarny said, adding that he wants to focus on this “original” source of inspiration (AFP).
