Vintage Japanese Dusky Mauve Silk Metallic Floral Maxi Kimono
About the Item
The traditional dress of Japan, kimonos are beloved worldwide for their beauty, rich history, and distinctive silhouette. Constructed from silk or other fine fabrics, kimonos often showcase embroidered elements from nature such as florals, birds, or butterflies. First introduced to the west in 1853, Japanese art and culture continues to inspire and fascinate, with the kimono making an indelible mark upon the world of fashion by presenting a new idea of femininity, shape, and form.
This luxurious vintage kimono is done in a saturated dusky mauve silk with a beautiful pattern of large metallic silver-threaded chrysanthemum flowers with spiraling stems. Several flowers in burnt orange and taupe offer a pop of color and a nice contrast to the varying shades of mauve, giving this kimono an autumnal feel. This feeling is further enhanced by a mesh background that is interspersed throughout, conveying the imagery of sunlight filtering through a garden lattice.
Size estimate: One size fits most
Bust: up to 44 inches
Waist: up to 44 inches
Hips: up to 44 inches

The fabric of the kimono cocoons around the body, draping exquisitely from the shoulder through the voluminous sleeves, falling to a maxi length at the floor. The center front opening and neckline are edged with a generous band of the same fabric, with different elements of the pattern highlighted at the neckline in a darker shade of mauve, drawing attention upwards.
Though traditionally worn alone, this kimono can easily be worn with a sheath dress or a pair of jeans and a tee for a chic modern look. This vintage kimono hangs open at the front with no closures and is fully lined in ivory and beige silk. In excellent condition, this kimono has been professionally eco dry cleaned and pressed. High-quality vintage pieces like this are yours to live in and love while increasing in value every year. It’s never too soon to start collecting them, as an investment in your wardrobe—and in yourself.

- Incredible Rare Issey Miyake Pleats Please Avant Garde Color Block DressBy Issey MiyakeLocated in Boca Raton, FLFuturistic designer Issey Miyake has mastered the technique of creating sculptural works of art in cloth. His innovative pattern cutting and signature use of micro pleating give his garments a unique form. As one of the earliest designers to take on this style of fashion, Miyake is held in high regard as a pioneer of these creative, out-of-this-world fashions. From the Pleats Please line, this rare collector’s dress is done in a pleated fabric in shades of midnight blue, electric purple, red, magenta, cerulean, chartreuse, brown, sage, and neon green. The bright colors have a prismatic quality that makes the dress pop visually, giving the eye something new to appreciate from each angle while elevating this garment to a work of art. The dress begins with a high straight neckline and long sleeves that reach the wrists. The front of the dress is fitted throughout, creating an elegant sheath that falls to a maxi length several inches above the ankles. The body of the dress is done in midnight blue pleats with a section of purple at the bust and a section of neon green near the hem that draws the eye. Thigh-high slits at each side of the dress allow for greater ease of movement while introducing a welcome risqué element that helps balance the volume of material on display. Size: Small Measurements: Bust: 32 inches Waist: 30 inches Length: 50 inches An incredible panel at the back of the dress is made up of a vivid patchwork of color-blocked fabric, adding extra depth and gravitas to this Avant Garde masterpiece. The top of the panel can be folded over the front of the shoulders to create a curving, cocoon-like shawl, or folded together at the back like wings at rest. The panel spans the entire length of the dress and is slightly higher at the neck, adding volume and a delightful sculptural element to the otherwise columnar silhouette of the dress. An unforgettable addition to the discerning fashion lover’s wardrobe, this rare Issey Miyake Pleats Please dress is the perfect choice for a wedding, gala, or special occasion, and is sure to turn heads for many years to come.
