Kimono : the art and evolution of Japanese fashion : the Khalili collections

Jackson, Anna, Nagasaki, Iwao

Overview

Kimono' showcases a magnificent range of kimonos from the the Khalili Collection, which comprises more than 200 garments and spans almost 300 years of Japanese textile artistry. Gorgeously illustrated and written by an international team of experts, the book surveys kimono of the imperial court, samurai aristocracy, and affluent merchant classes of the Edo period (1603 1868); the shifting styles and new color palette of Meiji period dress (1868 1912); and the bold and dazzling kimono of the Taisho (1912 26) and early Showa (1926 89) periods, when designers used innovative new techniques and fused traditional looks with inspiration from the modernist aesthetic then sweeping the world.
