They represent a challenge for designers to integrate both cultures in innovative fashionable designs. The present study aims to explore the characteristics of Sinai dress (Thoub) and Japanese Kimono, and create fashion designs for women at the age group (25-40 years) inspired by both. As a result, Historical study of Sinai and Japanese costumes is useful to create fashion designs for women.
