S'YTE × Kazuo Kamimura Collaborate Collection

S'YTE will release a collaboration collection with the genius painter "Kazuo Uemura" who quickly ran through the Showa era at the official online store "THE SHOP YOHJI YAMAMOTO" and WILDSIDE YOHJI YAMAMOTO OSAKA from Thursday, August 17th. I will.
[Special site]

S'YTE, who proposes a unique style that fuses the anti-mode spirit and culture to the whole world, took the world by storm in 1972 with "Dosei Jidai" and changed from an illustrator to a manga artist. Mr. Kazuo Uemura, as an artist colored with human empathy, has established a melancholy female image reminiscent of Yumeji Takehisa and a unique graphic touch. By resonating the identities of both, it is a special collaboration item that re-projects the original charm of the work into the modern world with S'YTE's concept design.

In this collaboration, Kazuo Uemura's masterpieces are featured, and his unique world view is expressed in items. The essence of Yohji Yamamoto and the inspiration of the 70's culture were incorporated into works depicting the beauty of a woman who is somewhat ephemeral yet passionate and strong like a willow, creating a one-of-a-kind collection.
The key visual model is Ryosuke Nagaoka, a musician who is also active as a guitarist.
