The Khalili Collection includes formal, semiformal, and informal kimono and undergarments and jackets worn by women, men, and children.
Kimono display an enormous range of patterns and motifs, often executed in a complex combination of weaving, dyeing, and embroidery techniques, with some garments requiring the expert skills of a number of different artisans. By the 1890s, Japanese motifs were often seen in textiles. The Khalili Collection of kimono, which was carefully photographed for this book, comprises more than two hundred garments and spans almost three hundred years of Japanese textile artistry it brilliantly exhibits the remarkable creativity of designers who used the surface of garments to produce a wearable work of art. Muslin and double gauze are making a return to the Japanese fashion scene in 2022.
