Spanning East to West, kimonos and kimono-influenced designs are everywhere, from high-end couturiers such as Yohji Yamamoto and Gucci to Main Street fashion chains such as Uniqlo and H&M. In Kimono Refashioned, contributors explore the impact of the kimono on the fashion world, charting how these striking and elegant unisex garments came to transcend their traditional Japanese design origins. Featuring highlights from the renowned Kyoto Costume Institute, this lavish volume documents Japanese and Western designs, men's and women's apparel, and both exacting and impressionistic references to the kimono. Contributors from the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, the Newark Museum, and the Cincinnati Art Museum join curators from the Kyoto Costume Institute to reflect upon the wide-range of motifs used to decorate kimonos, the form and silhouette of the Japanese traditional dress, and how its basic two-dimensional structure and linear cut have been refashioned into a wide array of garments. As captivating as the kimono itself, this book will be a must-have for fashionistas and Asian art aficionados alike.

Chemise, Stays, & Panniers
c.1760-1780
Throughout the eighteenth century, the silhouette of a woman's dress was formed with a corset or a pannier. In order to push up the bust for a feminine outline, the [stays were] framed with pieces of whalebone. First appearing in the early eighteenth century, the pannier became a mandatory item for court dress up until the time of the French Revolution. As the skirt widened in the mid-eighteenth century, the pannier was modified and split into left and right halves. Such huge panniers frequently became the subject of caricatures.

Not about the met gala, but what is your opinion on the costumes from the show the gilded age???
Side note, when is the dress in your header from? It looks like a robe a'la frainsais but I'm still learning!
I'm legally obligated to like The Gilded Age since I know people that worked on it 😂.
On a more serious note, I think there were some duds, but overall the good outweighed the bad. There were so many great recreations and it was clear research was done. Honestly, I can forgive some of the duds in terms of storytelling and character choices. This appears to be Kasia Walicka-Maimone's first period show and taking that into account, I think she and the rest of her team did a really good job.
My header is this image from the Kyoto Costume Institute! I don't have my KCI catalogue with me right now (I just moved and haven't unpacked my books yet) but I believe it is a robe à la française. They have a super great book called Fashion: The Collection of the Kyoto Costume Institute - A History from the 18th Century to the 20th Century that I highly recommend! They release an updated version frequently so you can get older copies for pretty cheap.

Hello this is unimportant but I'll have you know every time I see your username I read it like "black beard sneeb race", which I'd like to think is the ofmd alternate timeline where black beard retires from piracy and starts a drag competition except they won't invent the word drag for another 160 years or so, so he just makes up something that sounds fun. Thank you and have a lovely day.

Brassiere / 'band' 1920s The Kyoto Costume Institute, maker unknown. Pink silk georgette with lace insertion; flower ornament.
"The brassiere of soft thin materials and flat shape. It was known as a band, because it was used to make breasts flat, instead of pushing them up. It is associated with the fashion of eliminating feminine body curves among the dynamic new women known as "Garçonnes" (a feminization of the French word for "boys").
Fashion in the 20th century moved to a new direction. Corsets, which had tightly constrained women's bodies and at the same time supported their bosoms, emphasizing the feminine curves of breasts, were discarded after World War I. That is why new underwear, the brassiere, was needed. The first brassiere introduced in Japan was of this type, and was called a "Chichi-band."
