In ‘The Kimono,’ we reveal the layers of Japan’s timeless garment, a symbol of beauty and tradition.
Welcome to ‘The Fabric of History: Fashion’s Untold Stories’, I’m Paul Roberts and in this film series we unthread the seams of time to stitch together the most enigmatic elements of costume that have fashioned our modern world.
he ethereal beauty of the kimono is often compared to the fleeting nature of cherry blossoms, symbolising the transience of life and the impermanence of beauty. Moreover, the kimono has been a source of inspiration for artists, poets, and storytellers throughout history, serving as a timeless emblem of Japan’s cultural identity and artistic heritage.
Join me, Paul G Roberts, as I present the intricate tales woven into the clothes we wear, the styles we embrace, and the fashion we admire. Because every thread has a story, and these are the stories behind the seams that have dressed a world in change.
