Shortlisted for the American Textile Society R.L. Shep Award
The kimono is the ultimate symbol of Japan, revered within the country as the embodiment of national culture and regarded internationally as an exotic fascination. The iconic garment is often viewed as traditional, unchanging and timeless, but this book counters that conception, presenting the kimono as highly dynamic and fashionable dress. The cultural and sartorial significance of the kimono is explored in historical and contemporary contexts, both in Japan and the West, where its impact on clothing styles has been felt since the seventeenth century. Beautifully illustrated, the book features over 250 kimono and kimono-inspired garments from the V&A and collections around the world, revealing its sartorial influence on pop stars from David Bowie to Björk and examining the ways in which fashion designers such as Issey Miyake, John Galliano and Alexander McQueen have reworked its legacy.

Descriere

The rich, complex, and beautiful kimono

The kimono--worn by women, men, and children--is the ultimate signifier of Japan: revered withinthe country as the embodiment of national culture and regarded internationally as an exoticfascination. Often viewed as a simple, unchanging garment, the kimono has been equated with"tradition" and seen as something static and timeless. This book, published to accompany a majorexhibition at the V&A, London, presents the kimono as dynamic and fashionable, and explores itssignificance in historical and contemporary contexts, both in Japan and in the West. Beautifully illustrated, it includes more than 200 kimono from collections at the V&A and around the world, as well asexamples of the ways in which they have been represented in paintings, prints, and photographs, andinterpreted more recently in popular culture and fashion, from Bj rk to David Bowie, John Galliano toIssey Miyake.
