Miharayasuhiro

For S/S 2011, Japanese designer Miharayasuhiro was enamoured with Ophelia, the tragic love interest in William Shakespeare's Hamlet. His collection, romantic and dreamlike is rendered in floaty fabrics and silhouettes. To fully realise his vision for this season, the designer worked in collaboration with photographer Paolo Roversi and motion graphics company WOW to create an installation entitled "Ophelia Has a Dream." Crane.tv spoke to Yasuhiro during Paris Fashion Week about the experimental project, why Ophelia was such an inspiration to him and how she represents elements of his latest collection. www.miharayasuhiro.jp
