REVERIE The condition of being lost in thought:
The free-form construction of this coat reflects Yoshiyuki Minami's complex and meditative approach to garment making. Minami cut six to seven pairs of used jeans into random shapes and patched them together in an intuitive process using a blanket stitch to create an irregular, dimensional surface. Reflecting on the process, Minami wrote: "As I quilt the smithereens of fabrics, I'm reminded that we come in different genders, shapes, [and] colors, with different perspectives and experiences."
