From left to right (clockwise):

• Giselle looks striking in a Meisen ikat kimono from the 1930s.

• Catherine poses in her favorite black kimono studded with ice blue diamonds.

• Lisa tells us that she received many compliments on this beautiful crimson obi. Her dress designer made the obi part at the back detachable, so she can hang it on the wall in her house in remembrance of her wedding.

• A red, gold and black patterned obi makes a dramatic display atop Alex's grand piano.
