Rose 27 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 The kimono: For nice nights out, naughty nights inhttp://www.thestar.com/content/dam/thestar/life/fashion_style/2015/09/19/the-kimono-for-nice-nights-out-naughty-nights-in/lady-gaga.jpg.size.xxlarge.promo.jpgCeleb factorThere is also a theatrical thread to the trend, which can be pulled back to Lady Gaga, who has taught us all to blur the lines around what is costume.She wore a kimono to yoga class last summer in Toronto, a full-length baby-blue silk number with hot pink lining to match her shoes. Then this past May, she famously donned an oversized, sculptural black glittery Balenciaga kimono for this year’s Met Gala, openly mixing her Asian metaphors for this year’s Chinese theme.http://www.thestar.com/life/fashion_style/2015/09/19/the-kimono-for-nice-nights-out-naughty-nights-in.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JazzGa 14,407 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 It sort of bothers me that we are now calling all silk robes "kimonos." Of course traditional and formal articles of clothing are rebranded and made easier to wear all the time, and I own two fringe silk robes that were advertised as kimonos online, but there is such a huge difference between Coachella fringe robes and actual kimonos I don't know why we are bothering to call them that, especially with so many people being so ridiculously sensitive to people wearing things from other cultures. I do love all of Gaga's robe looks, from the encore BTWB giant king sized bedsheet one to the most recent one she wore at NYFW. So effortlessly glamorous I've taken a few dips in the lady pond Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
