Dance is where our body speaks its mind.
Wearing clothes that feel just right.
Aoi Yamada, rising star of the dance world, gives voice to feeling naturally in motion.
“These poses are expressions of the feelings and gestures
I experience in daily life. If I’m reaching across the table,
I might lift my entire leg, to do a stretch.
When I’m reading the paper, my hair gets in the way. Like I’m rushing to wipe off the table for a guest.”
- Printed V-neck 3/4 Sleeve Flare Dress
- AIRism Cotton Bratop
- AIRism UV Protection Soft Leggings
- Comfort Feel Round Flat Shoes
“I’ve been wearing UNIQLO since I was little.
The clothes were great for playing tag, or doing cartwheels,
so that’s how I dressed for school. Looking back, I realise how this made life easier for everyone. My dad, mum, grandfather,
and grandmother, who has trouble walking, all wear UNIQLO. I’m thankful for the wide variety of clothes they make,
accommodating different ages and genders.”
- Denim Shirt Jacket
- American Sleeve Cropped Bratop
- Ultra Stretch Active Breathable Tapered Trousers
- Comfort Feel Round Flat Shoes
- Sweat Pullover Hoodie
- AIRism Cotton UV Protection Crew Neck Long Sleeve T-Shirt
- Ultra Stretch Active Breathable Shorts
"I want to use the filter we call dance to express
the feelings and language that arise inside of me.
The sentiment behind that expression changes, but what stays the same is that fundamentally,
dance is about storytelling and ideas.”
