A provocative look at fashion and filmmaking from the Director of the Oscar nominated film Buena Vista Social Club.
In 1989, the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris asked director Wim Wenders to create a film about the world of fashion. Initially resistant to the idea, Wenders soon became fascinated by the craft and philosophy of Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto as he prepared his new season's collections. From the streets and studios of Tokyo to the boulevards and catwalks of Paris, Wenders uncovers the essence of Yamamoto's work while exploring the enigma of style, the language of images and the very nature of human identity. The result is an extraordinary examination of both fashion and cinema as a way of life carried along only by a unique vision and vivid curiosity.
