CLOTHES BY YOSHIKI HISHINUMA

Tankobon, 1986, First edition, 202 pp., 10 1/4" X 12", Softcover with jacket

Very good

In the 1980s, after working for Issey Miyake, Yoshiki Hishinuma opened his own studio. When designing his eponymous line, he could not find the textile materials he had envisioned. Rather than working with manufacturers, Hishinuma began experimenting with natural and chemical processes to alter the finish and form of textiles, producing his famous uniquely shaped clothes buillt to utilize the wind and air – called Kite Clothes and Air Clothes.

A beautifully produced book: stunning prints with lavish colors, impactful full-bleed spreads, varying paper stock, gatefolds, die-cut elements..... 

Extremely rare.
