I haven't worn this kimono for a long time, so thought it was time to get it out of the box. This obi came with this kimono, and I've never worn them together. It is my most expensive kimono. I truly love how sophisticated this one is. Probably the most age appropriate kimono I have for myself. Notice the very nice chrysanthemum kanzashi.
Suit, tie and shoes (geta), 2016, Thom Browne
This suit by Thom Browne takes inspiration from kimono primarily through its imagery. The debt to Japanese historic dress is also seen in the way the design moves across the whole surface of the ensemble. For the catwalk presentation of the collection, models stood inside kimono with their arms outstretched on bamboo stands. They were then individually released, revealing suits embellised with Japanese motifs and styled with geta (shoes).

Kimono: Kyoto to Catwalk
(February to October 2020)
This exhibition will present the kimono as a dynamic and constantly evolving icon of fashion, revealing the sartorial, aesthetic and social significance of the garment from the 1660s to the present day, both in Japan and the rest of the world.
The ultimate symbol of Japan, the kimono is often perceived as traditional, timeless and unchanging. Kimono: Kyoto to Catwalk, the UK's first major exhibition on kimono, counters this conception, presenting the garment as a dynamic and constantly evolving icon of fashion.

Kimono for a woman (kosode), 1850-90
The V&A bought this kimono from Liberty & Co in 1891. The London shop specialised in goods imported from Asia and did much to foster the fashion for the wearing of kimono. For most, the garment suggested luxury and non-conformity. It could also hint at the supposed eroticism of the East. For those advocating dress reform, however, the kimono offered inspiration for a style of clothing free of restrictive corsets.

“Kimono ensemble
Ishikawa Narutoshi (b. 1965)
This vibrant ensemble features a broken war plane submerged in the ocean. The politically charged motif reflects the designer's wish for an end to conflict. For Ishikawa, who started out by making obi accessories, all aspects of Japanese dress should be contemporary. To achieve this, he uses vivid colours, imaginative patterns and unusual materials.

Last week I've been busy at eBay again since a long time, and had some winning auctions.
The 2nd blue kimono, and I liked the white line drawings with the colored sense or fans.
Yo dawg, I heard you liked kimonos so I put a lady holding a kimono while wearing a kimono on your kimono.
