Yuima Nakazato

Biosmocking Evolved
YUIMA NAKAZATO has always aspired to create tailor-made garments that harmonize with the individuality of each wearer. To accomplish this objective, our designs are based around our proprietary “Unit System”, a modular approach inspired by our observations of natural crystal and molecular structures.

The depiction of the phoenix in the manga series works of Osamu Tezuka, flying through space and time, speaks to both the strength and folly of humanity and calls us to contemplate the preciousness of life.
The tales of the phoenix influenced Nakazato’s perspective on the contemporary meaning of beauty.

Prompts:

  • What’s the scale? Could it be huge?
  • What’s happens if more than one person is involved?
  • Where might it incorporate inflatable bladders for powered movement? What about lots and lots of them?
  • Are there other kinds of pneumatic or mechanical actuation?
  • What kind of programmed behavior might it include? Would that be responding to the wearer/user or independent of them?
  • What kind of crazy materials would accentuate the movement? E.g., billowing yards of gossamer silk, miles of glitter fringe, arches of tulle?
