Marilyn Monroe's white satin kimono is going up for auction on Tuesday, courtesy of the Dallas Auction Gallery's sale. The garment was gifted to the iconic actress by her husband Joe DiMaggio.
The kimono is the most famous garment worn in Japan. Kimono literally means “thing to wear” – it is made up of the Japanese words ki, meaning “to wear”, and mono, meaning “thing”.
Yume Japanese Gardens in Midtown hosted its first-ever Kimono and Kanzashi Fashion Show, highlighting the artistry and tradition behind the kimono and its intricate accessories.
