  In ’90s Japanese street-style, few brands compare in omnipresence to Takao Yamashita’s beauty:beast. Partially impacted by his strict upbringing, Yamashita-san’s subversive graphics and messaging quickly found popularity among Japanese youth in the ’90s. Like his longtime friend and colleague, Shinichiro Arakawa, Yamashita-san was heavily impacted by time spent internationally; both have shown collections in Paris and spent time working with designers like Christopher Nemeth in London. Today, beauty:beast's legacy has found new life, resonating with young people who have re-discovered the brand through vintage street-style magazines like FRUiTS.
