Ancient Japanese Clothing

The change of Japanese clothing probably came around after the Second World War. By 1946, a number of fashion magazines began gaining popularity in Japan, like Soen, New style which showed Japanese women how to dress. Not merely a magazine showcasing ready made dresses and attires, these magazines served the purpose of fashion guides. The magazines showed Japanese women how to sew their Kimonos into dresses and their husband’s old coats into suits. These were a complete sewing guide and soon silk Kimonos began transforming into silk dresses at par with New York and Paris designs and Japanese men began adorning suits.
