KEIICHIRO YURI: METAPHISYCAL CREATIVITY

Keiichiro Yuri is becoming a legend amongst Japanese designers for his eclectic personality and creativity.

He started his art career as a bag designer. His traditional Japanese art and worked leather matched the cultural pop sensibility and passion for music and technology.

Behind the “mythic” Chitose Abe of Sacai, Jun Takahashi of Undercover, Rei Kawakubo and Junya Watanabe of Comme des Garçons, Yohji Yamamoto and Issey Miyake, Japan has finally shown a new generation of designers that are climbing the pyramid of notoriety in the fashion world.

They are changing the rules and planting new milestones that push creative limits, forging ahead with the experiment of matching elegance, innovation and personality.

Keiichiro Yuri launched his fashion brand [ Keiichirosense ] to share this value of Japanese traditional technique and textiles and to share his style and creativity.

Yuri presented at the last Tokyo Fashion Week the new concept "WEAR BAG" where the shapes of his famous bags become dresses. This shows innovation and suggestive creativity that he describes as: "Caring intuition and playfulness. Always fight with times, risks and instability. Create unknown emotions. Styling to conceive from bag. Fusion of clothing material and bag material. Fusion of clothing construction method and bag construction method. Fuse the act of wearing into the function of the bag. Creation of a 'new form' born from body structure."

Through this styling, he is sharing "'a passion never experienced before'. While designing, he imagines the ladies' style but he is conscious about the element of genderlessness,” he says.
