Unisex digital camo shorts from beauty:beast’s Dark Knight era, spanning Takao Yamashita's FW 1998 and FW 1999 seasons. The conceptual phrase define a massive, multimedia output by the designer that included two collections, music soundtracks and print ephemera.
Constructed in a midweight cotton-twill with a sharp, digitized camouflage print in dark grey and ice blue tones. Part of Takao Yamashita’s signature approach to “pattern hacking”, the camouflage pattern renders these not as a military uniform, but rather as a visual encryption.
Details include beauty:beast's signature side pull tabs, alongside custom antique buttons. The inseam is elongated, giving these an almost capri-like cut, making these highly evocative of the famed beauty:beast 90s silhouette.
