During the Edo period in Japan samurai wore the Kamishimo, a traditional costume made up of the Kataginu or pleated-front vest and the Hakama or pleated pants/skirt. These pieces would often be worn over a kimono which could be spotted underneath.
They’re now the latest in contemporary Japanese street fashion, brought to the catwalk through collections by Vivienne Westwood, Yohji Yamamoto and OrSlow Japan.
This vintage pattern enables you to cut and sew your own version of this statement two-piece.
Comes presented in a Japanese-style sewn paper bag.
