The white girls in their japanese traditional kimono?

The question is: do the japanese men love the white girls obsessively? http://img215.imagevenue.com/view.php?image=16634_twd278_cover_123_199lo.jpg

How can I make a kimono without buying one? Is there any way to make a Japanese kimono with a small budget?

If you are about to buy a handbag made with Pre-WWII vintage Japanese kimono fabric, does it have to be silk? I am starting handbag manufacturing & retailing business in the future. I am currently working on a handbag collection that is made with pre-WWII vintage Japanese kimono obi sash fabric from 1910's thru 1930's. I have found many beautiful vintage kimono fabrics, but they tend to be rayon and silk & synthetic blend. Silk ones are sort of dull unless they are very expensive. This is because Japan was #1 producer of rayon during that time in history. It does accurately portray historical aspect of the textile. However, I can already anticipate some sort of hang-ups by American customers because the bags are not made with vintage silk material. To what degree does it matter whether your handbag is made of silk or rayon/synthetic. Does the Pre-WWII vintage outweigh rayon textile, or silk is a must? Also if you can tell me your gender & age, that will help. Thanks.

Where can I get a Kimono made? I'm American, but I've always been obsessed with Japan, ever since I was a child. And not the silly "They all still walk around in kimono" Japanese either, I'm interested by all parts of Japan, from traditional to modern, urban to rural. Plus, my boyfriend is part Japanese and calls me his little "wibu" (I know it's a derogatory term, just like how alot of Japanese use the word gaijin in a negative way, but between the two of us, it's an affectionate joke) We're planning to get married but because of his want to be proper, he hasn't proposed formally yet. In our planning, we've thought of lots of details (some quite cheap and others awfully costly) like having shamisen and koto players, as well as flute players and, if we can afford it and figure out how, even flying authentic geisha or maiko to perform at the reception. We're planning dress the wedding party in kimono, plus an uchikake to wear over my gown at the reception. Does anyone know where I can find some one to make these?
