Moving away from colour and print today in this feature of avant-garde Japanese designer, Yuima Nakazato. Nakazato’s collections are predominantly conceptual and not particularly wearable, but it’s all quite stimulating! He seems to take a very architectural approach to his pieces but they have an air of whimsy and softness that is usually lacking in the works of other conceptual designers. His footwear and accessories are stand out pieces as well. He seems quite influenced by Hussein Chalayan and the influence seems particularly strong in his 2008 Wooden Dimension collection presentation.
While not wearable except for the most daring individual, Nakazato’s work is inspiring and distinctive.
