Lacey Kimono

Description

Kimono 1 is a one-of-a-kind Mixed Media Kimono designed as a flowing, artful layer that celebrates color, texture, and story. Made to fit up to size 1X, it drapes beautifully on the body, offering ease, movement, and confidence without sacrificing shape. Every detail is intentionally placed so the garment feels like a walking canvas—elevated enough for special moments, yet versatile enough to style with denim, dresses, or tailored pieces.

Design and Aesthetic

This kimono is crafted from upcycled textiles, giving it a rich, dimensional look and a soulful, sustainable foundation. The palette centers around warm rust tones, bold black motifs, and soft white floral lace, creating a striking interplay between strength and softness. A deep burgundy trim traces the edges, providing structure, contrast, and an elegant frame that pulls the entire piece together.

The mixed-media construction brings together multiple fabrics and patterns, so each panel carries its own visual voice while still feeling cohesive. As you move, the layers catch the light differently—lace softens the edges, darker sections ground the look, and warmer hues add vibrancy. The result is a kimono that reads as both modern and timeless, with subtle global influence and a distinctly contemporary edge.

Fit, Feel, and Styling
Kimono 1 is designed with a relaxed, open-front silhouette that comfortably fits up to size 1X, making it an easy, throw-on-and-transform piece. The flow of the fabric offers a gentle, graceful movement, whether worn over a simple tee and jeans or styled with a slip dress and heels. Because of its visual impact, it instantly turns even the most minimal outfit into a statement.

The layered textures and tonal contrasts make it ideal for photos, on-stage moments, ministry events, or everyday creativity. It’s the kind of garment that invites conversation—people will want to know the story, the meaning, and where it came from. For the wearer, it becomes both a comfort layer and a confidence layer.

Customization and Creation Process

Although this specific kimono is a one-of-one masterpiece, the design itself is fully customizable. An individual can secure their own custom Mixed Media Kimono with a $50 deposit, with a production time of up to two weeks. During the ordering process, they can share preferred colors, tones, or moods—whether they lean toward earthy neutrals, bold contrast, soft pastels, or deep jewel tones—and a unique piece will be created just for them.

Each custom kimono is built with the same ethos: upcycled textiles, thoughtful panel placement, and a balance of structure and flow. No two will ever be identical, which means every client receives a garment that truly mirrors their personal story and style.

Pricing and Investment

Kimono 1, and custom pieces in this style, are priced at $125. The $50 deposit initiates the creative process, with the remaining balance due upon completion. This investment reflects not only the material and time but also the artistry, sourcing of textiles, and intentional design behind each garment.

This piece—and every kimono in this series—embodies individuality, sustainability, and spiritual depth. It is fashion as testimony, style as storytelling, and design as an act of excavation—inviting each wearer to “let’s excavate” their own identity, presence, and voice every time they put it on.
