Wim Wenders’s Notebook on Yohji Yamamoto’s Fashion
Abstract
The text is about known director Wim Wenders’s meeting with Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto. The documentary A Notebook on Cities and Clothes was inspired by that meeting. The theme of the film is not only the beauty of outfits created by Yamamoto. Wasieczko argues that the question how to make art natural? is hidden in the documentary. In her view, the very context of the answer to the question makes Wenders praise video, the spontaneous cinema of the future, that will make it possible to record reflections on the world with a portable cinecamera. Wenders thinks that the natural magnetic picture clings to reality in a better way. It fits as softly as the fabrics of Yamamoto-created clothes. That is an ideal of see-through, colloquial and personal art.
