"A woman in a kimono is like a fleeting vision. She emerges briefly from the crowd only to vanish, dreamlike, around a street corner."

In Kimonos, author and fashion designer Sophie Milenovich artfully explains and illustrates the allure of this legendary and quintessentially Japanese garment. She delves into the kimono's history, meaning, and construction, exploring the dazzling beauty of its textiles and the inexhaustible variations of its folding patterns. Kimonos is an evocative celebration of Japanese fashion, art, culture, and craft.
