Often viewed as a simple, unchanging garment, the kimono has been equated with\" tradition\" and seen as something static and timeless. This book, published to accompany a major exhibition at the V\u0026amp;A, London, presents the kimono as dynamic and fashionable, and explores its significance in historical and contemporary contexts, both in Japan and in the West. Beautifully illustrated, it includes more than 200 kimono from collections at the V\u0026amp;A and around the world, as well as examples of the ways in which they have been represented in paintings, prints, and photographs, and interpreted more recently in popular culture and fashion, from Bj rk to David Bowie, John Galliano to Issey Miyake. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnna Jackson is keeper of the Asian department at the V\u0026amp;A. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 x 12.4 x 9.6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 17, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51769636323616,"sku":"9781851779925","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/76dea28b040da89325baed17e4509de1.webp?v=1780352572","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/kimono-kyoto-to-catwalk-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
