Miyo Kimono: Bicultural Identity

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.

Miyo Kimono is still a precious work of art introducing the African touch to the garment. It comes in two types of fabric for different times of the year and to grace different occasions. There is the pure Ankara cotton Kimono (heavy) and the Chiffon Ankara Blend Kimono (light). They come in different colours fit for every occasion and to spruce up your wardrobe pieces.

Miyo Creations fashion design team is keen in keeping the style relevant and adding an African touch to it creating beautiful and multicultural pieces that are stylish and timeless.
