Rare Yoshiki Hishinuma 1990s medieval armour like top. The garment's fabric is an artwork on its own: its all-over pattern is created by heat-wrinkling the entire piece. Different textures on both sides of the blouse (visible in the photo). Made in Japan.
Hishinuma's textiles have such depth and visual interest that they become the primary focus. This independence is a key attribute of Japanese textile and garment design, which often focuses attention away from the body and towards the materials and/or silhouette.
