TADANORI YOKOO Channels Sharaku Toshusai's Kabuki Portraits In Latest ISSEY MIYAKE A-POC Blouson Collection
Featuring 10 historic Kabuki actors.
ISSEY MIYAKE continues its artistic partnership with TADANORI YOKOO for a new batch of blousons as part of the A-POC ABLE ISSEY MIYAKE project. Joining the love of artwork with the fun of wearing clothing, this release will see Mr. YOKOO’s works of woodblock prints where he uses Sharaku Toshusai’s portraits of Kabuki actors as motifs.
The range of intentionally misaligned images sees 10 different portraits where TADANORI YOKOO embraces flaws, and plays with off-registration to create “accidental” images with an emphasis on outlines using color to make it look as if the weave itself is misaligned. This release is once again dropping in limited production with each item individually numbered. Priced at ¥198,000 JPY (approximately $1,350 USD), more info can be found at the dedicated TADANORI YOKOO ISSEY MIYAKE website.
