1950s Metallic Floral Design Silk Kimono designer-michael-novarese museum condition and a stunningA stunning kimono with a very unusual print! It is a chic combination of blacks and metallic silvers whose threads have pale pastel colors cast through them. The design covers the back quite extensively and runs down each sleeve and across the front. The base is black and the interior is lined in a solid black with a pale cream silk inset in the upper half and through the sleeves of the interior. The work is very fine and it is just so unusual.
