149. Elizabeth Wilson and her husband, Mark Wilson, (curator of the Nelson Adkins Museum) have brought one-of-a kind art to Kansas City.

<h3>&nbsp;ASIATICA is a unique retail store located in Kansas City. In our shop we make one-of-a-kind garments from vintage Japanese kimono fabrics, contemporary artisanal fabrics from Japan and other luxurious textiles. They also have a carefully chosen selection of scarves, shawls and jewelry as well as an exceptional collection of antique and modern objects, mostly from Japan. Their goal — and greatest pleasure — is to apply their opinionated and practiced eyes to whatever they can find and present their discoveries to their numerous fans.</h3> <p><strong>Elizabeth Wilson's story of how she developed a keen and artistic eye to create Asiatica is fascinating. She moved to Kansas City in the 70's to marry Mark Wilson who took the job as curator of the Nelson Art Gallery. His knowledge and expertise for 45 years has put that gallery on the world Artistic map. Elizabeth's business of fashion, art and textiles is captivating.</strong></p> <p><strong>Visit Asiatica's website and enjoy: asiatica.com</strong></p>
