Description:
Europe’s first major exhibition on kimono opens to the public on Saturday 4 May at V&A Dundee.<br/> <br/>Kimono: Kyoto to Catwalk presents the kimono as an iconic garment and a dynamic, ever-evolving icon of fashion, tracing the influence of the kimono from 17th century Japan to present-day cutting-edge couture and street fashion across the world.<br/> <br/>In the exhibition, rare 17th and 18th century kimono are displayed alongside modern designs from Issey Miyake, Yohji Yamamoto, and Alexander McQueen. The kimono’s recent reinvention on the streets of Japan is also explored through work by a new wave of contemporary designers and stylists.<br/> <br/>Arguably the ultimate symbol of Japan, the kimono is revered within the country as the embodiment of national culture and internationally regarded with fascination. This symbolic status, and the fact that its basic form has remained consistent over the centuries, means that that the kimono is often viewed as a simple, timeless garment. Kimono: Kyoto to Catwalk counters that conception, revealing how the kimono has always been a dynamic item of fashionable dress that has been restyled consistently throughout its history, influencing modern fashion and popular culture, from evening wear and festival fashion, to rock stars and Star Wars.

_late-soldiers-family-meet-eight-month-old-baby-saved-with-liver-donation.webp "This is the heartwarming moment the family of a girl who received a life-saving live transplant from a soldier killed in battle met the donor's family.Israeli Staff Sergeant Dor Zimel, 27, was killed by a Hezbollah anti-tank missile last month in amid the conflict in the region with Lebanon and Gaza.His organs were donated and the liver was given to critically ill eight-month-old girl Lielle Avi at the Schneider Children's Center for General Pediatric Surgery in Petah Tikva.The late soldier's family had a bitter-sweet meeting with the little girl and her relatives at the hospital on May 2.Lielle's extended family awaited the Zimel family with flowers and gifts, with every member, including little Lielle, dressed in shirts bearing the image of the late Dor alongside Lielle's picture, with the caption: 'You were a hero, and you will remain one. Thank you.'In the emotional encounter, Sharon, Dor's mother, presented a small lion doll to Lielle's family, saying, 'We brought Lielle this lion so that our Dor will always watch over her, strong as a lion.'Avi, Lielle's father, addressed Dor's parents, saying: 'Your Dor continues to live through our Lielle. Forever you will be an inseparable part of our family. I have no words to thank you. My daughter was born anew thanks to your son.'Dr. Yael Moser-Glazberg, Director of the Liver Transplant Unit, addressed the Zimel family, saying: 'Thank you for giving this sweet baby a chance at life. It is an indescribable nobility of soul. 'We share in your profound grief and thank you on behalf of the hospital for the greatness of spirit to save lives in such a difficult moment. I wish both families full health and good news for all.'The Schneider Children's Center for Pediatric Surgery is the leading hospital performing the majority of pediatric organ transplants in Israel. Since its establishment, over 700 heart, lung, liver, and kidney transplants have been performed on infants, children, and adolescents, with success rates comparable to the best medical centres in the world.")

_spring39s-hottest-nail-and-lash-trends.webp ";Summer is almost here and we are talking the hottest DIY nail and lash trends with two of the most sought-after pros. Celebrity makeup artist and KISS Lashes ambassador Sir John who's done everyone from Beyoncé to Serena Williams and celebrity manicurist and imPRESS manicure brand ambassador Tom Bachik who's done nails for Jennifer Lopez, Selena Gomez, Margot Robbie, both say when it comes to summer beauty it's all about looking confident. So what trends are we seeing for summer 2024? Well, it's all about the eyes and of course no look is complete without a full set of lashes. Sir John loves imPRESS Press-on Falsies , which requires no glue and are one-step press on and go lashes. They have this exclusive design with self-stick technology for a quick and easy application that lasts for 24 hours with no mess and they're mistake-proof. They're easy to remove too and don't leave sticky residue, they won't harm your natural lash either which is major. And unlike lash strips, these are clusters of falsies you place under your natural lash rather than on top. You can find imPRESS Press-on Falsies on impressbeauty.com and Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, Ulta, and Target for $8.99 - $19.99. Next up, let's talk nails! Tom has partnered with imPRESS, making A-lister mani and pedi trends achievable at-home. He says press-on nails for hands and feet are the perfect summer fashion accessory and the way to get a perfect mani and pedi--fast, easy all by yourself at home. imPRESS Press-On Nails , like the lashes--require no glue and come with pre-applied patented super hold adhesive that lasts for up to 7-days. Safe, no damage to your natural nails, no chipping, and of course no dry time, plus, they're waterproof. Just peel, press and go! Each kit includes everything you need to apply the mani and pedi, including plenty of sizes to choose from. Removal is also safe, easy and mess-free. They make it so easy to switch up your styles to match your outfit. As far as trends, Tom's currently loving multi-glitter effects, classic French, and fun designs like floral and fruit - which you can achieve easily with this new collection. Get the matching mani and pedi sets at impressbeauty.com, Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, and Ulta for $7.99 - $9.49.")
_bridgerton-superfan-with-6k-of-period-clothing-92.webp "A Bridgerton superfan with a £6k wardrobe of period clothing says strangers constantly mistake her for an extra.<br/><br/>Sophie Andrews, 28, spent 10 years curating a regency wardrobe.<br/><br/>She owns 25 day dresses and 10 ballgowns -which are all handmade by her friend and fellow regency enthusiast, Abigail Rose, 33. <br/><br/>Sophie says she often gets mistaken for dressing specifically as a Brigerton character - and says people even think she's filming for the series.<br/><br/>She is looking forward to watching the latest season of Bridgerton where the protagonist, Penelope, is plus size like herself. <br/><br/>Sophie, an author, from Reading, Berkshire, said: “I’ve always loved Penelope as a character because she was on the side lines and not seen as pretty.<br/><br/>“I’m a larger girl so it will be nice to see that character coming into her own and getting her happy ending despite being seen as a wallflower who’s considered as pretty as the other characters.<br/><br/>“She deserves her happy ending, but I’m not sure about Collin, her love interest. He’ll have to impress me.<br/><br/>“I’ve watched every series with my best friend Abigail, and I suspect we’ll be staying up at midnight together to watch the first part of the new season.<br/><br/>“I’ve got very used to being out and about and people talking to me. It doesn’t faze me.<br/><br/>“People now stop me to speak about Bridgerton and I even get people asking if I’m filming something.”<br/><br/>Sophie has had a passion for regency clothing since she was 18 but says the rise of Bridgerton has led to a fresh attitude towards the period. <br/><br/>\")
