Wataru Tominaga (Japan)

From Kumamoto, Wataru Tominaga is graduate of Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design and the winner of The Grand Jury Prize Premier Vision Grand Prix at the 31st edition of the Hyeres International Festival Fashion and Photography. His bold and sometimes chaotic prints and designs are reminiscent of the 60s and 70s, the main inspiration behind his collections. Tominaga also explores the deconstruction of stereotypes in fashion and textile, and constantly seeks to create clothes which put together go against traditional representations and rules on gender, race, and age.
