Kansai Yamamoto was the designer du jour for David Bowie throughout the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. He conceptualized several of the enduring visuals we associate with Bowie, including the iconic Ziggy Stardust outfits. Kansai also designed the asymmetric striped body suit which appeared on the back of the "Station to Station" cover, and rather tragically once more in Bowie’s “Lazarus” music video. Kansai’s work was less maudlin and more reverential to traditional Japanese imagery than his anti-fashion peers, and his influence can be seen in the gleeful maximalism of designers like Alessandro Michele of Gucci. This intarsia knit hails from the early days of Kansai’s label, before production costs and lagging sales required him to change directions. The colors and visuals are indicative of what brought him early acclaim, featuring a fighter jet...

Kansai also designed the asymmetric striped body suit which appeared on the back of the "Station to Station" cover, and rather tragically once more in Bowie’s “Lazarus” music video. His reign was relatively short-lived due to the high production costs and limited releases, which led to a slashing of budgets, and in turn a decline in quality and creative spark in the mid ‘80s. Throughout the early 1980s, Kansai released a variety of oversized varsity jackets...

Kansai Yamamoto was the designer du jour for David Bowie throughout the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, as he conceptualized several looks quintessential to the visual lexicon of Bowie’s career, including the Ziggy Stardust tour outfits. Kansai also designed the asymmetric striped body suit which appeared on the back of the "Station to Station" cover, and rather tragically once more in Bowie’s “Lazarus” music video. Kansai’s influence has not purveyed cross-generationally like Rei Kawakubo and Yohji Yamamoto’s, but it can still be seen channeled in the gleeful maximalism of designers like Alessandro Michele of Gucci. Throughout the 1980s, Kansai released a variety of oversized varsity jackets...
