Yuima Nakazato has returned to Tokyo after just finishing his degree in fashion design at the Royal Academy in Antwerp. Yuima creates 2 dimensional shapes which mould around the body resulting in some fantastic wearable sculptures and remind me of a futuristic body armour. Jewellery, clothes and shoes are all in his portfolio and at the tender age of 23 years old I wonder what he may show us in the coming years....
