Japanese women have known for centuries what many American women are finally figuring out: Kimonos are mad fly. Not only does the traditional Japanese costume evoke effortless elegance, but also the shape of the garment is universally flattering. However, large sleeves and fancy buttons do not a kimono make. Learn everything you ever wanted to know when Minoru Matsumoto presents The World of Kimono, a lecture that will also involve a fashion demonstration. Matsumoto’s knowledge is renowned in his homeland, and he will reveal the significance of the garb’s colors (both black and white denote evil, authority, and strength) and explain the connections between the costumes worn in Kabuki theater and modern use of the customarily formal attire. Tonight’s lecture begins at 7:00 at the Wolfsonian-FIU. Admission is free. Call 305-530-9090, or write to the Japanese Consulate at cgjmia@cofs.net.
