Vintage Japanese Magenta Silk Print Kimono Jacket

Widespread ideas about globalization were characteristic of the 1970s. Combined with the new fashion movements that relied on the use of vivid color, inspiration from Japanese dress fit this aesthetic. The traditional Japanese kimono, often featuring vivid yet pastel hues and floral embroidery is reimagined in this vintage recreation.

Done in silk, this garment showcases an avian motif with tones of blush, red-orange, cornflower, green, and gold with oriental styled clouds in the background. This motif is bordered by panels of solid fuchsia. Unlike the original kimono, this garment has a loose, careening fit that would work great as an easy cover up or light jacket addition to add a bright pop of color to any outfit.

Size estimate: One size fits most

Bust: 40 inches
