Kimono Refashioned: 1870s to Now
Now open at the Newark Museum and running through January 6 of next year is an exhibition of over forty different fashion items considering both actual kimono and the more modern garments, from the west and the east, using the kimono as inspiration.
You see here at top for their opening image, a dress by Yohji Yamamoto mixing the usual boring black of formal clothes up top combined with the large and exuberant patterned skirt from the kimono tradition. Then, a kimono from the 1930s that was inspired by Mickey Mouse--look closely and you will see the mouse appearing all over the print. Then a black dress again, this time with a painted skirt again by Yohji Yamamoto, and finally a very short dress by John Galliano from 1994.
There is a book for sale too, if you cannot make it to the show: https://www.newarkmuseum.org/kimono

I really have started getting dressed FASTER and just going outside. I’m proud of that. We should celebrate that.
Tell me to get dressed, let’s go out.
Dramatic Threads: Textiles of Asia
Now through February of next year, the Newark Museum is featuring both costumes and textiles in its Asian Galleries. There are costumes for the theatre and for important political occasions, plus various kinds of decorative testiles. They come from all over Asia, including China, Japan, Korea, Nepal and Tibet and show several techniques. These include embroidery, and weaves like brocade and all kinds of fibers, silk, of course, but gold and wool and cotton. There are humble efforts and luxury goods, and color palettes and image choices vary by time and place.
