Colorful garments - ball gowns, kimonos, evening pajamas - made from yards upon yards of iridescent silk or velvet. I own an unjustifiable number of such outfits and jump at the chance to wear them. Against the etiquette about which I am otherwise all too conscious, I frequently, and unrepentantly, overdress for the occasion.

American Novelist

Diane von Furstenberg

The wrap dress is the most traditional form of dressing: It's like a robe, it's like a kimono, it's like a toga. It doesn't have buttons or zippers. What made it different was that it was jersey; therefore, it was close to the body and it was a print.

Belgian Designer

Issey Miyake

Paul Poiret did wonderful things because he was so influenced by motifs, but Vionnet really understood the kimono and took the geometric idea to construct her clothes - and that brought such freedom into European clothes in the 1920s.

Japanese Designer

Molly Crabapple

The first time I made any money, I was 27. I went to Bergdorf's looking like a proper guttersnipe and bought a pair of Louboutins. I'd wear them and an old ink-stained kimono and make my drawings and feel indomitable.

American Artist

Emily Maitlis

I remember the Silver Jubilee clearly because we had a fancy dress street party in Sheffield. I dressed up as a Japanese girl with a too-big red kimono - cultural appropriation hadn't been invented in 1977. I was six.

British Journalist

Lizzo

I love kimonos because you can just throw them on over anything. Ever since I got my first kimono from Lane Bryant in high school and thought, 'This is amazing; I can wear it with everything!

American Musician

Lucy Liu

Women who wear kimonos, when the fight, they have to keep their knees together, and when they use a sword, they have to move the sleeves otherwise it gets caught.

American Actress

Amy Hill

It would be great if people could guess right off that I am Japanese-Finnish-American. But then I'd have to be wearing a kimono and pulling a reindeer.

American Comedian

Colleen Atwood

In real life, a lot of people at that level will have their kimonos made especially for them.

American Designer

Jamie Dimon

We are totally open kimono with regulators.

American Businessman

The kimono is a symbol of Japanese heritage and tradition, often worn on special occasions.

Cultural Significance

In Japan, kimonos are formal wear, not casual clothing; they're chosen for ceremonies and formal events.

Formal Attire

Putting on a kimono is complex, involving specific folding and tying, often needing assistance.

Complexity of Wear

The kimono-inspired robes globally are adapted for casual or fashion wear, differing from the traditional use.

International Fashion

Modern kimonos come in various prints and fabrics, suited for different occasions and tastes.

Variety of Styles

Kimono-styled garments outside Japan are valued for comfort, with less emphasis on formal traditions.

Loose and Comfortable

 Working with them, we created one of the best yarns in the world, which consists of thin metallic alloys wrapped around with polyester fibers and cotton fibers. These yarns were made in the same machines which were making yarns for kimonos for generations.
