Japonerie: Hot or Cold?



If you were following the recent Spring/Summer 2013 collections, no doubt you noticed elements of "Japanese-inspired" clothing. But was it a new development, or a return to the late 1970s-1980s? Old Gianfranco Ferre? Kansai Yamamoto in his heyday?

Unfortunately, no re-interpretations of the Heian period (think Pillow Book, Tale of Genji) appeared this time.

Will the trend grow cold before it becomes available at retail?

Or is it time to scout and secure vintage examples?
