Editorial Office.A traditional Japanese garment, the kimono was in common use until the 1920s, when the inhabitants of this country began to wear Western clothing and reserved this iconic piece for special occasions. However, today it returns to occupy the closet of today's woman. Although muses from past decades, such as Jane Birkin and Brigitte Bardot, surprised the public by wearing it in the 60s and 70s, its true prominence is just beginning, as firms such as Alexander McQueen, Maison Margiela and Loewe have recently elevated it to the level of the catwalks. .

For this reason, it is now the obsession among fashion queens like Alexa Chung and Kate Moss, a key theme in blogs like Olivia Palermo's and an inevitable feature in the most relevant 'lookbooks'.

Alexander McQueen's Kimono dresses have taken the fashion world by storm.
Comfortable and glamorous at the same time, one of their great attributes is their versatility, since depending on the model they can be suitable both to complement a 'boho chic' beach look and to embellish a gala dress. There are blouses and wide sleeves, with fabrics that range from delicate silk to the pomposity of brocade, and with color combinations that range from the sober to the most vibrant. Those that include floral and Asian motifs predominate, although there are also 'tie dye' style designs or with ethnic details, as well as sophisticated options adorned with beaded appliqués, fringes or embroidery. Depending on the event, you can wear it with jeans, t-shirts, tube skirts, dresses or high-waisted pants; just remember to keep the rest of your outfit in monochromatic or neutral colors so that this piece is the focus of attention.
Marc Jacobs proposes pants in his kimono proposal. For 2016 Alexander Mcqueen includes hand embroidered dresses for his spring summer 2016 collection.
