Oriental style in clothes

The culture of the East has long fascinated people with its mystery and magnetism. Like many years ago, the oriental style in clothes is still unusual, multifaceted and attractive.

As a fashion trend, it originated in the middle of the last century, thanks to the efforts of the Japanese fashion designer Kenzo Takada. He created an entire empire of traditional clothing of the East, called "Destructive Couture".
