Start the day by going to the Quai Branly Museum to admire the'EXHIBITION 'KIMONO'. With nearly 200 models, kimono-inspired clothing and associated objects, this single exhibition offers a great opportunity to discover this garment from Japan with a major influence.
The exhibition traces the history of the kimono since the Edo period (1603 -1868) and also shows how this traditional clothes is constantly changing. Source of inspiration in contemporary and global fashion, the kimono seduces young designers as well as fashion designers from Paul Poiret to John Galliano. Its influence also extends to the cinema and the artistic scene with in particular the model of Alexander McQueen for Björk or that of Jean Paul Gaultier for Madonna.
Much more than one instructive dive in the universe of this unique garment, “KIMONO” stands out as one more opportunity to dream of Japan! In addition to the guided tours, storytelling tours and a “Japanese silhouettes” workshop will be offered for children from 6 years old.
