HIS INSPIRATION
- determines the way his garments look
work of photographer August Sanders – known for revealing the dignity of the poor
- softened structure, aged → beautifying the poorness of the poor
- Yamamoto recognised that and took it for his inspiration
- these garments became part of the person wearing them in a way
that nothing else could → storytelling in a subtle way
- finds the ideal look in bohemians, traveler → ppl who carry their
lives, secrets along with them → carried out through the way they
look
- you cannot imitate that through clothing bc it’s so personal but
Yamamoto attempts to do it
- aesthetics of poverty
- the fact that the world of fashion is so attached to innovation
makes him want to capture history instead
