imono designs and Japanese style have inspired global art, design and fashion since Japan re-opened to the world in the mid nineteenth-century. This exhibition displays historically significant and visually dynamic examples of costume and fashion from Japanese history, and establishes a creative lineage to the most experimental and innovative fashion designers of today.
Explore traditional Noh and Kyogen costume, intricately decorated kimono worn by samurai and merchants during the Edo period, early examples of Western influence in the styles of the late nineteenth-century, and Japanese modernist fashion from the early twentieth-century. Additionally, the exhibition features key pieces by fashion innovators Issey Miyake and John Galliano, contemporary creative Hiroko Takahashi and bold Harajuku street fashions.
