Kimono Crazy!
I've been stockpiling funky vintage kimonos ever since I moved to Singapore (see, for example, here) and have slowly transformed -- with the help of a tailor -- a few of them into cool wrap dresses… that I haven't actually worn yet. (For no particular reason, other than I just hadn't been in the mood.) But, I'm inspired to finally break them out by Hope Atherton's vintage kimono mini, as seen on Style.com's weekly best-dressed list. The length is what's key—if you're looking to convert an old kimono, take it to the tailor and get it chopped pretty short to balance out all that fabric up top. And, be sure to have them make a long belt out of the leftovers to help cinch it into something shapely and less bathrobe-like, a la Hope.
I'm looking for a photo of Hope's dress from the front, if anyone's seen one – I just haven't quite nailed the neckline and I'm wondering how she wore it. Domo arigato for your help.

Look great on her.
woah--i have worn practically this same outfit! i found a terrific kimono minidress from (of all places) lucky brand last season! has a beautiful mandarin collar and bonsai print...it's one of my favorite outfits, so yes!yes! i hope you wear your dresses soon--you will be the belle of the ball. ;-)
pray tell where that wonderful vintage kimono shop is!
I love yours! The short blue one and the colourful one in the last pic just made me swooooon.
I have a lovely but very, very old (I think it's '30s) kimono with embroidery all down the back that I never wear because it might just disintegrate. I found it for 9 pounds in a second hand shop and the whole time I was walking to the till I was sure they were going to say no, it's a mistake, it's 90 or 900 but they didn't...I'm such a kimono nut...
p.s. glad you feeling better!
I just found a picture from the front that I'll email you.
Hi - this is SO not related to the kimono but i was just wondering if you would know WHERE in Singapore I could buy a Botkier Sasha duffle bag..that one that Angelina Jolie has been carrrying around in different colors...any pointers?
thanks!!

HI ms spinach...
I really love the kimonos that you featured..it would be greatly appreciated if you could email me the shop that you found in singapore. plsplsplspslpls.
thanks a million
it looks SO cute! i want one ;( i really love the kimono prints and the texture of fabrics, but they are so so expensive. i remember when i was a little girl i wish i would be japanese so that i can have a kimono at the girl's festival, very silly huh?
Your collection of Kimonos is amazing, really love the orange/red one at the bottom. Hope Atherton looks great there, can't wait to see what you do with yours.

BTW, vintage kimonos can be extraordinarily expensive!
hey all!
my kimono resource is jap vintage on haji lane -- see my singapore shopping guide (at left) for more.
blue peanut: i know that Into in Palais Renaissance has the Botkier Bianca satchel -- maybe they're the best place to start?
thanks for the well wishes on the bazaar article! i think sing. bazaar has gotten really great under kate birch's editorship (and i'm not just saying that 'cause i sometimes write for them) and i'm glad you all are reading. :)
more soon!
