Description

Enter the world of Japanese fashion, where traditions, craftsmanship and avant-garde design have shaped one of the world's most influential style cultures.

From exquisite kimono textiles and indigo-dyed fabrics to the groundbreaking creations of Rei Kawakubo, Yohji Yamamoto, Issey Miyake and Kenzo, Japanese Fashion uncovers the very fabric of a distinctive fashion culture that continues to inspire designers around the globe.

Journey from the elegance of traditional dress and theatrical costume to the precision of the salaryman's suit, the artistry of selvedge denim and the energy of Tokyo street style. Explore the enduring beauty of the kimono, the understated minimalism championed by brands such as Uniqlo, and the iconic silhouettes that define Japanese cinema, while discovering the ideas, aesthetics and cultural traditions woven into every thread.
