The word &#8220;<em>kimono<\/em>&#8220;, actually means a &#8220;thing to wear&#8221; (ki &#8220;wear&#8221; and mono &#8220;thing&#8221;). Up until the mid 19th century it was the form of dress worn by everyone in Japan. It is a long, loose traditional Japanese robe with wide sleeves, tied with a sash.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Deborah Vanessa is a presenter, musician and model. She has over the years demonstrated her love for fashion and culture through her photos on social media. This particular one is no exception as she beautifully radiates in these Kente Kimono clothes.
