Spring trends: Kimono

Filed in archive Fashion and Style on February 9, 2006

From Paco Rabanne dresses worth more than $5000 to one hundred dollar Diesel tops, spring trend is unique: kimonos rule!

Wide sleeves, interesting bows and high obi belts are tools in skilful designers hands. Interesting cuts are enhanced with colors, where anything goes, from Japanese red to the darkest black. Pair your kimono-like dress or top with this year's platforms, slouchy boots or even trainers. For inspiration check out the style.com page about today's kimonos.

I've also found some great pieces around the web. There's a Diane von Furstenberg Kimono style wrap around dress, Karoo Kimono sweater, Eyelet Kimono style white blouse, Parameter tweed kimono blazer, Shonagon wrap top and so much more!

Bring out the geisha within you, read Memoirs of a geisha book or watch the movie and bring some Eastern philosophy into your everyday life.
