Quirky Kimono

I found an old edition of Zipper Magazine (Japan) the other day and inside was a kimono editorial. It must have been around Seijinshiki (Coming of Age) time or New Years. Here are my favourite images.

Vans

Vans by artist Pnut-

"We collaborated with one of our favorite artists on this collection. Greg "Pnut" Galinsky took our classic Era shoe and gave it a fresh vibe with the Lovecap2 featuring psychedelic waves of color that holler back to the surf culture of old school Santa Monica, CA. Pnut's Speaker Print takes a retro look back at old school rocking stereo speakers and the Big Headphones is a retro repeated headphone design inspired by the funk, reggae, jazz, hip hop and Punk Rock tunes he grew up with."

These Vans are by Detroit-based artist Niagara. They are so funky! I cannot wait to get a pair!!!

I am often searching for others who have a passion for kimono and I love looking at photos of them dressed up. These are some really cute pics I have found on a couple of girls blogs and websites- I found the links mainly at Naomi no Kimono Asobi. I am so jealous and I wish I was in Japan so I could dress up in kimono on a daily basis...

These photos are from a website called Honoric- Kimono Magic
