Japanese Rock Star Yoshiki Flows Seamlessly Into Fashion: ‘Music and Fashion Are Almost Inseparable’


Japanese rock star Yoshiki recently debuted his fashion line Maison Yoshiki Paris brand.

The multihyphenate is playing in the major leagues with his Maison Yoshiki Paris brand, which recently launched at Milan’s Fashion Week. The cover of the band’s 1989 sophomore album, “Blue Blood,” featured the phrase “Psychedelic Violence Crime of Visual Shock,” words that embodied Yoshiki and his peers’ androgynous makeup, clothes and brightly dyed hairstyles. Yoshiki took his love of fashion and married it with Japanese tradition (and his parents’ vocation) with a rock-inspired kimono line, Yoshikimono, in 2011.
