This striking red iromuji is a summer kimono at Kimokemo paired with a white obi with a pattern of botan and a rose obiage that ties the two together very well. The black eri makes the dark color in the obiage pop out and since black, red and white are all neutral, this set is very dignified.

As you can see in the top photo the summer-weight kimono are gauze-like and you can see every under-layer, so you really have to dress carefully.

During World War II, Josephine served with the French Red Cross and was an active member of the French resistance movement. The French Resistance was a group of individuals who helped to win the war against the German Nazis enemy with undercover work. Using her career as a cover Baker became an intelligence agent, carrying secret messages written in invisible ink on her sheet music. She was awarded honor of the Croix de Guerre, and received a Medal of the Resistance in 1946. In 1961 she received the highest French honor, the Legion d’Honneur from French president Charles deGaulle.

…secret messages. written in invisible ink. on her sheet music. bamf.

She would also tuck tiny notes into her skirts when she did burlesque routines, and would dance up to the intended recipient and let him pluck it out.  Really brave, really smart, really interesting lady, on top of all her artistic talents.
