A “Kimono Style” exhibition just opened up at the Metropolitan Museum, so we’re taking a look back at how they’ve been worn on the streets of New York, Milan, Paris, and Tokyo. Paired with socks and Geta, the kimono was once a part of a daily uniform for Japanese women. Western fashion designers have riffed on its traditional shape for decades, and over the years it’s been taken up by performing artists like Gwen Stefani and Rihanna. These days, it’s popular with the trendy music festival crowd. See below for a look back at how the kimono has appeared in our street style galleries, from the couture shows in 2016 to the ready-to-wear shows of 2022.
