The traditional Kimono is a versatile piece of clothing native to the Japanese Culture. It goes back in time and was used as a COLOURFUL cover up. The colours were based on the seasons, political affiliations, familial ties or gender. Kimonos in the Japanese Culture were considered literal pieces of art with great value.
FACTS ABOUT THE KIMONO:
1. Kimonos should also always be worn with the left side over the right: only a dead body dressed for burial should wear the right over left.
2. In Japan they are closely linked with manners and can reflect the formality of an occasion.
3.The kimono’s delicate patterns, sumptuous colours and striking silhouette appeals to a fashion-conscious generation who are keen to stand out from the crowd, especially on social media.
