The Kimono's effect on fashion History of an endless passion

The kimono is an amour fou. It is a stubborn, rooted, atavistic passion, destined to rekindle cyclically, in a loop of pure beauty that the fashion world cannot ignore. Regal, hieratic, refined, exotic, minimalist, boho, trendy.

Throughout history the kimono has had more or less fortunate periods, remaining, however, a latent reference, waiting patiently, like the embers under the ashes, which a gust of wind or style brought them back on the catwalks and in our wardrobes. From Poiret to Yamamoto, from Galliano to Saint Laurent, from Thom Browne to J.W. Anderson, no designer was able to ignore the charm by proposing it, each in its own way, even in the last seasons. Despite being very current, loved by stars like Florence Welch and Beyoncé, who, still pregnant with twins, has shown off one by Gucci at a basketball game, this key piece of the Japanese costume has an ancient history.
