• And when clouds shade the light within and around you, I invite you find your place under the sun. A slice of sunlight that you can lean into. To warm your soul. Inspire hope. Remind you of the power of faith. Because you are so luminous and beautiful. Sometimes we just need to see our beauty reflected back to us in the light of a sunset. This is what faith and hope feels like to me today. I leaned into the brilliance of the Cairo Gold Sequin Kimono (cut in a high/low) and let it take me on a journey of spontaneous joy. I paired this with a low plunging tangerine bathing suit worn as a top and high waist paper-bag waist cropped cotton trousers in a golden khaki color with leopard print ankle boots .I love the contrast of the tight bathing suit + the loose pants. It felt comfortable and sexy and empowering. Stay inspired, stay safe and stay in the light. xx #rgkimono #sequins #kimono #kimonolife #findthelight #yourplaceunderthesun #iloveyou

  • The vibrancy of the Provencal blue is such a stunning contrast to the earthy warm taupe color that anchors it. The blue is reminiscent of the ocean and the taupe the sandy beaches that turn darker with ocean spray. The beauty of the Provencal Kimono in a subtle south of France print lays beautifully over the Japan Kimono's subtleness. Layering a shorter piece over a longer piece creates symmetry and elogonoares the silhouette- which is always flattering. ;) I tied the side panels of the Japan Kimono- something that a lot of my Kimono Men love to do. It looks great worn at the hips and emanates a shirt tied casually in the front. I pulled the sleeves through so that the contrast of color and texture would be visible. Beneath the look I am wearing a cotton lace up black bodysuit with a pair of high waist drop crotch pants. I love the ease of this look and that is absolutely something a man or woman can wear. Unisex styling is something that I adore- as you can amp up the femininity or masculinity in an outfit by playing with accessories.

  • Keeping it easy and flowing- I love pairing a shorter length Kimono over a longer one because it feels more like a jacket vibe over a dress. Keeping the more fluid and draped Lizard Queen Kimono close to the body- worn simply over cotton drop-crotch pants and a white bralette. This look is super clean and very relaxed- which always is my preference in styling anyways. Comfort and style- not mutually exclusive. I wanted to bring in a more airy fabric to drape over and feel like more of a coat- so I brought in the duster length Japan Kimono in Raspberry. Since this is a super lightweight and soft textured cotton- it floats beautifully over the heavier fabric of the Lizard Queen Kimono beneath it. The Japan has a lapel, again giving it more of a structured Kimono robe look- whereas the Lizard Queen is without one. Simplicity, ease and flow are the mantras for this look. #rgkimono #menswearinspired #kimonostyle #kimonolife #ritaghanime

  • The theme for this Kimono look is yin/yang- which embraces the polarities of femininity and masculinity. I began with the ultra feminine sheer Kimono- which is the Jane BIrkin. It is cut floor length and the sides are slit high- so that it can be worn like a blouse- by crossing the front panels of the Kimono in front of each other then either tied in the back or you can bring them back to the front and tie them in front- which is what I have done here. The Jane Birkin has a lined- wide pinstripe pattern woven into it that brings a cool factor to the sensuality of the fabric. I layered the more earthy and grounding Japan Kimono in Grayson- with a lapel- on top - which is cut in a long high/low duster length- meaning full length and shorter in the from than in the back. This Kimono roots down the fluidity of the Jane Birkinn yet still allows it to flow freely beneath it(something that every man should be to a woman ;) I love how these two pieces compliment each other in perfect harmony.

  • The Shirting Kimono was inspired by a men’s classic button-up pinstripe cotton shirt. It’s easy style and comfort is perfect for wearing alone or layering under or beneath other Kimonos. It’s feels very chic and very fresh, exactly what a good men’s dress shirt does. For this look, I chose to style it over the Lizard Queen Kimono- and switched it up by wearing it on top of it- to wear it open as a shirt/Kimono hybrid. The proportions and fabric textures also work very well together- as the Shirting Kimono is airy and shorter in contrast to the Lizard Queen which is more drapey as it hangs on your body with more weight than flow. I like how the Lizard Queen looks over jeans (rolled up to the ankles) and feels unexpected- like a dress over jeans. It’s important to belt it at the waist so you can create a sleeker look- as jeans are boyfriend style and baggy- and the Shirting Kimono is left open and roomy. • • #rgkimono #menswear #tomboychic #kimonolife #fashiondesigner

  • The Beirut Kimono + Jane Birkin Kimono: What I love about this combination is that it really flirts with the different fabric weights and creates something very feminine yet still very cool in a menswear-esque vibe. The Francoise Hardy micro-mesh Kimono (in white) is a duster length Kimono- and is clearly something very feminine and rather sexy- depending on how you style it. It serves as the 'white shirt' element in the context of a Kimono. Anything see-through requires more thought in styling it for the day- as far as what to put underneath it and on top of it! I am very into men’s button up vests- the kind that typically comes with a 3 piece suit. I buy vintage ones in every color at Jet Rag on La Brea (Los Angeles). I buttoned one on top of the thin mesh Kimono and it was instantly transformed from sexy to cool. Structure does that. I wanted something substantial in weight and texture to put on top of this look- so I chose the new Beirut Kimono- a lightweight and soft linen fabric in a sandy beige color. I used the belt of the Francoise Hardy Kimono as a neck-scarf- emanating a neck scarf or neck tie that men wear. ✌🏻 • • #rgkimono #menswear #kimono #tomboychic

  • This look focuses on textured fabrics and different lengths and the contrast of solids and patterns; then dark and light. I begin with the Lizard Queen Kimono in a pristine white crepe rayon fabric that has a beautiful weight to it which allows it to slink over the body in a beautiful draped way. This is cut in a longer one length style- a duster. It is collarless and simplistic and could be styled in many ways - here I chose to wear over jeans- which looks a little like a dress over jeans when it is tied as it is at the waist with a belt- which is a very cool look in itself. I chose the Lovers Kimono in a shorter length than the Lizard Queen. The Lovers fabric is a textured cotton fabric with a gold lurex metallic threading that is woven through and creates a pinstripe pattern- which is very masculine-chic. The nature of this fabric is much more airy and flowy- meaning it almost floats around you capturing air as you move inside it. This is of course when it is not tied- if you tie it you create a more streamlined silhouette. Feeling a little romantic and a lot bohemian- I of course through in one of my favorite hats from my girl Michelle Roy of @socialbutterflieslosangeles and jeans by Golden Goose- mens jeans from @parliamenton3rd (Los Angeles). #rgkimono #menswearchic #tomboystyle #bohobabe

  • Working with different lengths of Kimonos really allows you to play with the silhouettes and create different looks. As a basic white 'menswear' inspired Kimono 'shirt'- I start a basic white Kimono as a base then layer upon it the shorter cut new 'Provence' Kimono- a beautiful South of France inspired pattern in a gorgeous azure toned blue with a white motif. It is a soft rayon fabric and has an excellent drape. The white Kimono beneath does not have a lapel- whereas the Provence Kimono has one- thus lending to the boys type of 'Jacket over Shirt' look I was inspired to emanate. I paired the look with a pair of men's patchwork distressed jeans are by @goldengoose that I got from @parliamenton3rd in Los Angeles(I get a lot of my pants here from the mens section!). I used the Provence belt around the white Kimono to add contrast but one could also be cool to add a leather belt on your waist as well. #rgkimono #menswear #kimonolife #tomboychic

  • Menswear has inspired my own personal aesthetics because of it's non-conformist, simplistic timeless elegance. It's unfussy and straightforward styling- and always feels especially cool when women wear items that are more masculine in design. Maybe because it's going against the grain of dressing 'pretty' and is rebellious in that sense- and you truly have to own your style (and personality!) and be a bit of a risk taker- and not care what others think about what you wear. The first menswear look I have created pairs the new Faye Kimono - worn as a shirt (which is simply tucked into the front of my pants while the back remains untucked) with the Japan Kimono in Taupe. The Faye acts as the white shirt inspiration and the Japan - cut long as a Duster (above the ankles) and worn loose without a belt- emanating a men's trenchcoat. (Hint- I am debuting Trench Kimono hybrids mid June!) The Faye Kimono is inspired by the effortless style of Ms. Faye Dunway- who said that every woman (or man ;) needs a great classic white shirt... Or in this case, Kimono. It is a mostly opaque light -weight cotton Kimono in a crisp white color with a subtle sheerness to it. It is available now in the Current Inventory section of my site. #rgkimono #tomboychic #kimono #menswear #fayedunaway #stealfromtheboys #kimonostyle
