Yu Fukumoto, a designer and graduate from the 2008 Royal Academy of Fine Art in Antwerp, designed this extravagant collection which he called “The Collector."
Fukumoto’s extravagant menswear is seemingly multi-purpose and each look comes outfitted with practical details like big pockets on the front of the pants. The colors, for the most part, are soft and solid.
The only question left here pertains to the big pockets: are they supposed to be functional, or just decorative?
