Designer Keisuke Yoshida Excavates Memories of 16 Years Spent at Rikkyo University
<p>At MIDWEST Tokyo Keisuke Yoshida’s cape trench coat is located in the men’s section but it doesn’t matter, I tried it on, and…how should I put this? Well, there is nothing to say<em>.</em> I looked like I was wearing a KEISUKEYOSHIDA trench coat, instantly recognizable on the streets of Tokyo and amongst certain digital enclaves. I knew because I had proof of this from moments prior, when someone had uttered his name, identifying the designer of the pea coat I had on. Damn, it must feel good to have achieved this level of success.</p>
<p>Yet Yoshida had been haunted by failure in the form of a recurring dream, we found out later in his show notes. In this dream, he flunks a year of college, and he invited us to an immersive show on site at Rikkyo University, to present his A/W ’24 collection. The result appeared to be the most complete version of his universe to date.</p>
