KENTARO KAMEYAMA @ NYFW
fashion: just a tool to express my insight without compromise, and humbly share my aesthetic. feel and enjoy the struggle between undeniable classical beauty and perishable trends that decay as though nothing ever happened. inspiration should come from within, not visually. outcome should be emotional when you look at it, but not when you wear it. -kentaro-
