I defer to the Japanese for all things design-related, and that includes summer fashion. And lately, I've seen more than a few hip Portland ladies rocking the kimono and I'm kinda digging it! Perfect for warm weather, but dressy enough for that after-work cocktail party, these kimonos (the one pictured here is by the local designer Alicia Wood) are flattering, classy, and represent the best of a comfy robe, beach cover-up, and, my favorite item of the season, the wrap-dress.
