The individual elements in this heavily layered ensemble by Japanese designer Kenzo Takada include references spanning the Silk Road from Mongolia through Central Asia to Eastern Europe. In particular, the voluminous and opulent printed velvet coat gives the appearance of a Central Asian carpet thrown over its wearer’s shoulders. The coat’s interior—a pattern of hazy tulips—bears a striking resemblance to a mid-19th-century carpetbag.
