The collar is incredible - over-sized and pointed

I love how there is a little spray of flowers at the back of the neck and how each cuff has an unusual notch shape

It is really one of the best prints I have had from him and it is just as dynamic on the yellow and black if not more so

Each side is low (though they are different - an interesting touch - and each has a beaded blue ombre detail securing the side

Add a belt and you have instant definition too

1970s Hanae Mori Palest Blue Butterfly Silk Kimono designer-yves-saint-laurent The collar is incredible -This stunning silk kimono from Hanae Mori has a dreamy and romantic print in shades of blues that range from the palest of colors to a deeply saturated pastel. It looks to have never been worn or used and would be perfect to use as wedding kimono or on your honeymoon, or to top an evening ensemble. Of course it also works as a lingerie piece for the boudoir as well. It is just lovely and has such a romantic feel. The print is hand screened and painted
