About the Item
The 17 Linda Kinoshita listings in our store come from the couturier's personal wardrobe.
This listing is a stunning cranberry wool flecked tweed, sleeveless sheath dress with an Empire-line bodice in taupe silk satin. Under the Empire waistline of the dress is a layered skirt, each tier finished separately. Top layer is edged in a tweed self-fabric fringe. Strict, simple and impeccable tailoring with a cropped, double-breasted jacket with 4 large fabric covered buttons, a notched collar and 3/4 length sleeves. Shallow vents at front jacket hem. Both items are lined in coordinating silk satin. The chicest understatement! US size 4-6
Linda Kinoshita was the first Japanese-American couturier, a superb designer who, after spending time in her youth in both California and Japan was forced, with her family, to a relocation camp during WWII, after release she worked in NYC with her mentor, the legendary couturier Charles James. In 1955 she opened her own couture house, located at 39 W. 56th St., where she produced exquisite couture garments in the best quality materials for the crème de la crème of NYC society, most notably Babe Paley. Her work is characterized by intricate construction techniques, interior boning in her bodices and innovative seam designs. Her work was featured in the 2022 exhibition "Asian Americans in New York Fashion: Design, Labor, Innovation" and is preserved in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute
