Tokujin Yoshioka: Maison Hermès window display

Based on a window display he first presented in 2004, the japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka has now restructured it using a japanese actress currently being presented at Maison Hermès, Japan. The installation will run from now until january 19th, 2010.

“On designing a window-display of Maison Hermès, I intended to express people’s daily ‘movements’ with a suspicion of humor. There are moments when I perceive a hidden presence of a person in the movements born naturally in daily life. I created a design where one can perceive someone behind the scarves as if life were being breathed into them. The window is designed with an image of woman projected on to a monitor. The scarf softly sways in the air in response to the woman’s blow.” – TY.
