YUKi iTO is a fashion designer/artist who learned fashion design in both Japan and the Netherlands. In his perception as a fashion designer, he has been questioning the identity of the clothes, he deconstructs and reconstructs to change them from their original context, which translates the quality and the meaning of garments, as well as the modern translation of its function in the future. Also, he has an interest in how the clothing acts in social circumstances and daily human life. The characteristic of his work is a chimera-tic look of totality with a laid-back balance where the small details play a big role.

FALSE PERCEPTION

We perceive others at first sight based on what they wear and how they dress. I want to falsify these notions of stereotypes and prejudices, by creating counterfeit. I mush-up multiple traits of existing garments. Every object/ garment has its function, but what happens if you deconstruct conventional patterns of safety garments, white shirts, the pair of pants, a military vest or a prison uniform? Once you have done that, all that’s left are fabrics with symbolic traits of previous garments. Placing these fabrics in a different context that I roughly stitch together in order to reconstruct new complex garments. That makes the symbols/traits of garments complicated, this counterfeit is giving a surrealistic view and falsifying one's perception.
I create my own chimera.
