Kimono Style. Edo Traditions to Modern Design. The John C. Weber Collection
Bincsik, Monika: Kimono Style. Edo Traditions to Modern Design. The John C. Weber Collection. 2022. 175 pages, fully illustrated in colour. Paperback. 29 x 22cms. This publication explores the kimono's modern history and its influence on Western fashion. Initially signaling the wearer's social position, marital status, age, and wealth, older kimono designs gave way to the demands of modernised twentieth-century lifestyles. Conversely, inspiration from the kimono's silhouette liberated Western designers such as Paul Poiret and Madeline Vionnet from traditional European tailoring. Juxtaposing never-before-published Japanese textiles from the John C. Weber Collection with Western couture, this book explores the kimono's role in global fashion history.
