So in case you ever wondered what Japanese royalty feel and look like, pick up this number from Shoen and slip into it, then spin your cam around and stare at yourself for a few minutes like I did. I mean Sky has enough outfits to fit in a couple of abandoned warehouses but one thing I didn’t have was a beautifully tailored, high class, formal yet tasteful kimono. It’s the perfect blend of authentic and modern style, and where they meet in the middle is perfection. From the corset top to the sexy slit down the legs fastened together by lengths of black ribbon, I mean what more is there to say. The colour and design are subtle which you can accept with your choice of styling or enhance by contrasting it with something bold. The shading of the gown is a contrast of albino, aluminium and silver and the outfit is pulled to a focal point at the belt which is of black, aluminum and violet/pink colour, wrapping around the waist and tying up in a majestic bow at the back. It will most often be hidden by the cape which falls over the back and off the shoulder bound to the off shoulder straps. All in all, Sky says yum and will definitely be on the lookout for my next themed formal event to show of my new Shoen Kimono Gown, namely ‘Sei’.
Check out Shoen at Fashion For Life’s display fashion parade and don’t forget to shop til you drop, it will surely help in the ongoing battle against cancer.
