huge hip pockets and the bold shoulder

The green parts are an almost flat piled chenille that is embroidered onto a backdrop of gold stripes

I love how the sides each have a little tie under the arm and that neckline - its the perfect balance between chic and flower child

1950s Stunning silk and Metallic Thread Kimono designer-james-galanos huge hip pockets and theA stunning kimono with a very beautiful print done in a striking combination of a black silk base with metallic silver and copper threads woven through the silk.

The interior is lined in a brilliant silk that has a strong curved pattern of reds, creams and pinks through the upper half and sleeves. The work is very fine and it is just so unusual. You can wrap these and belt them
