The kimono has caught the eye of western fashion and is sweeping the runways by storm. But what is it exactly about this style that has caught the eye of designers? The word “kimono” literally translates to “thing to wear” in Japanese. Simple, right? No, it’s not merely just a simple thing to wear. It’s a process to put on a traditional Japanese kimono, but the time is worth it due to the intricate detail and overall delicate beauty of this garment. We are naturally drawn to the exotic and in the fashion world, a unique item is often sought after and desired. The flowing and fluttering fabric of the kimono fits every body type and gives just a hint of mystery, helping us look cultured and fashionable. Thank you, Japan.
