Hello! A Tribute to Kansai Yamamoto
Episode 43: We say goodbye to Japanese fashion designer Kansai Yamamoto, who from the early 1970s offered over-the-top theatrical designs in the spirit of basara, encouraging freestyle dressing with an emphasis on stylish extravagance. We marvel at his stadium-sized traveling fashion show, Kansai Super Show such as Hello! Russia in 1993 and subsequently in Vietnam, India and back home in Japan, which were spectacles incorporating music and dance. And we look back at his iconic designs for long-time collaborator, singer-performer David Bowie.
