In 1989, Wim Wenders was commissioned by the Centre Georges Pompidou to make a film about fashion & its place in contemporary society.

As Yamamoto constantly searches for new modes of expression, Wim Wenders embraces video technology, which offers more flexibility when recording such a fast-paced world. ...
