‘Threads of Beauty’ presents photographs by Yuriko Takagi, who embarked on a quest to document traditional attire in today’s world. Takagi trained in graphic and fashion design before establishing herself as a fashion designer in Europe. She set out in 1995 to photograph people who live their daily lives clad in traditional garb. Over three decades and across thirteen countries, she accumulated more than 1,000 images. Globalisation has done much to flatten fashion since she began her project, but the ties between clothes and their wearers that she finds so captivating – and that she so radiantly captures in her photographs – remain as resilient and as integral to human life as ever.
