Notebook on Cities and Clothes

Documentary

1989, Movie, 1h 21min

Wim Wenders’s diary film investigates the similarities between his approach to filmmaking and the work of celebrated Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto, who, in the early 1980s, revolutionized the fashion world with his avant-garde silhouettes and bold monochrome aesthetic. Shooting on his own as a one-man crew, Wenders gradually forges a friendship with Yamamoto, while reflecting on the relationships between clothes, identity, urban life, and creativity. The result is a deeply personal dual portrait—as much a journey into Wenders’s world as it is into Yamamoto’s—in which fashion becomes a gateway to free-flowing philosophical inquiry.
