In the episode Angel, Angel says to Darla, “What’s with the Catholic schoolgirl look? Last time I saw you it was kimonos.” This line was followed up four years later in the Angel episode ‘Darla’. In a flashback to the Chinese Boxer Rebellion, Darla wears a kimono. |

See also, “Enemies” (season 3):
ANGEL: I’m sorry. I wanted to take you out somewhere fun. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to the movies. They changed.
BUFFY: A little scary. And a little not, which is also scary. I’m sorry. I just, I don’t like getting you worked up like that. We can’t actually do any of those things. You’d lose your soul. Besides, I don’t even own a kimono.

Do they wear kimonos in China? Isn’t that a Japan thing?

Good question, Comfortador… I did a quick search on everyone’s friend Wikipedia, which doesn’t mention China at all… It seems to be very much native to Japan. Anyone else have more insight into this than me?

And you’d think that 400-year-old Darla would be more worldly …

Kimonos are definitely a Japanese thing, not a Chinese thing. I have many Asian friends who can attest to this. I don’t think I can provide any insight as to why she was wearing one, though…

I can come up with a reason or two that have nothing to do with the Chinese/Japanese issue, but I doubt that it would be appropriate on this site (hee hee).
