From Hello Kitty mayhem to last year’s Harajuku craze, America’s affinity for Japanese style is nothing new. But this winter’s hottest Asian-inspired looks—marketed in conjunction with the release of Memoirs of a Geisha—were decidedly sleeker and more sophisticated than their whimsical predecessors. If you missed out on Banana Republic’s limited-edition collection when it was released this fall, you can now snag the Satin Kimono Dress for a steal at bananarepublic.com (the price has been slashed from $168 to $99). For a modern twist on the traditional Japanese bath, check out the Body Shop's fragrant limited-edition Warming Japanese Sake Bath & Shower Gel ($6; thebodyshop.com). Or for a hint of glam, try Fresh’s Memoirs of a Geisha line: Enclosed in beautiful cherry-blossom-embellished packaging, standouts include the Shimmer Powder with Crushed Pearl ($38; sephora.com), which is ideal for giving skin a subtle iridescent glow, and the Beauty Face Palette ($38, shown), a dreamy collection of pink shimmer, coral, and red hues. —Marissa Kristal

    I love this Fresh collection. Didn't know about the Body Shop product, though. Very cool.
