We really want for you to get to know us so this will be a post where we talk about two areas both really important in our lives.
This is where fashion meets dance.
One thing you will realize from us is that black is something that really represents us. Since little we were really drawn to it and if it is black we pretty much will love it.
Keeping that in mind, one of our top 10 fashion designers is Yohji Yamamoto.
Yamamoto was born in Tokyo, 1943.
Yamamoto debuted in Paris in 1981. He thought ' that my men's clothes look as good on women as my women's clothing […] When I started designing, I wanted to make men's clothes for women.' All he wanted was ' for women to wear men’s clothes. I jumped on the idea of designing coats for women. It meant something to me – the idea of a coat guarding and hiding a woman’s body. I wanted to protect the woman’s body from something – maybe from men’s eyes or a cold wind.'
So, one day I was browsing Pinterest and suddenly I see this black and white picture of Pina Bausch and Yohji Yamamoto and fell even more in love with them both!
So what we came to find was that to celebrate Tanztheater's 25th Anniversary (1998) , Yohji designed this dress/tunic for Pina.
Pina Bausch was a great german modern dance master. She started the Tanztheater 'style', which she developed as this blend of stage sets, music, dance and performers. As the result of it, she created the Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch company, whom is known internationally. She truly believed that a performance was not about the audience to fully understand it, but that the performer had to do it because he thinks it's the right thing to do; that the dance is not there only to please but to challenge the audience. The works were mostly based on emotions and relationships. So she used a lot of improvisation and Pina always developed a really personal relationship with all of her dancers/performers.
And us, IMMC, we truly believe in this.
We both dance since we can remember, and the method of Pina is really close to our hearts because we really believe that dancing comes from within and that all of our past memories and experiences define us and what better way to translate it to the world than by dancing?
Pina was a huge influence in the modern dance and art world,such has Yohji still is, and we thought that this partnership between two giants of the art world could not defines us better because they combine everything we love:
Dance, Fashion, Art.
So this is really a way for you to get to know us.
We hope you enjoy and share with us some of the most influential and inspirational humans that you guys really love!
