Kimono designs and Japanese style have inspired global art, design and fashion since Japan re-opened to the world in the mid nineteenth century.

Works include Noh and Kogen costume, popular intricately decorated kimono of the samurai and merchant classes of the Edo period, examples of Japanese early interaction with western fashions during the late nineteenth century, Japanese modernist fashion of the early twentieth century, and key works by fashion innovators Issey Miyake and John Galliano, Japanese contemporary creative Hiroko Takahashi and Harajuku street fashions.
Alongside unique examples of kimono and kimono inspired costume the exhibition features paintings, posters, wood block prints, magazines and decorative arts that contextualise themes the kimono story.
