Hanoi show introduces glam fashion of Japanese kimono

VOV.VN - In honour of the state visit of Japanese Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko, an exhibition showcasing the iterations from traditional to the glam fashion of today’s kimono took centre stage on March 3 in Hanoi.

While the once ubiquitous garment is now reserved for special occasions and official events in its homeland, it has inspired the likes of designer Si Hoang and artisan Vuong Dinh Hai.
  

Designer Si Hoang said many of the Ao Dai designs of his fashion house have been heavily influenced by the kimono and it is commonplace for them to incorporate fine Japanese silk in their fabrication.

Hundreds of styles from Japanese fashion houses, many of which are simply dazzling works of art reflecting a wide range of sophistication are featured at the exhibit running through March 7 at Trang Tien Exhibition House in Hanoi.
