1950s Lavender Flower on Black Silk Kimono designer-geoffrey-beene The way it drapes andI love this stunning little kimono with its romantic feeling hand painted lavender print. The combination of that soft purple and white design on a black silk backdrop makes for a stunning combination.

The upper half of the interior has a soft white silk inset with a feminine washed design of pale flowers adoring its surface. The work is very fine
