The untold modern history of the Japanese kimono and its dynamic relationship to Western cultureJapans engagement with Western clothing, culture, and art in the midnineteenth century transformed the traditional kimono and began a crosscultural sartorial dialogue that continues to this day. This publication explores the kimonos fascinating modern history and its notable influence on Western fashion. Initially signaling the wearers social position, marital status, age, and wealth, older kimono designs gave way to the demands of modernized and democratized twentiethcentury lifestyles as well as the preferences of the emancipated new woman. Conversely, inspiration from the kimonos silhouette liberated Western designers such as Paul Poiret and Madeline Vionnet from traditional European tailoring. Juxtaposing neverbeforepublished Japanese textiles from the John C. Weber Collection with Western couture, this book places the kimono on the stage of global fashion history.Published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art/Distributed by Yale University PressExhibition Schedule:The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York(June 7, 2022February 20, 2023)
