Fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto is responsible for the main visual of the music festival "WORLD HAPPINESS 2015," held on Sunday, August 23rd. This special collaboration T-shirt features the festival's main visual, which prominently displays Yamamoto's beloved dog, Rin. This original design was created for the occasion by "Ground Y," a concept shop offering multiple Yohji Yamamoto brands.
WORLD HAPPINESS, which began in 2008, has traditionally used illustrations for its main visuals. This year marks the first time a photographic work has been produced. Mr. Yamamoto, a music enthusiast, has imbued the festival's world of music into this piece, capturing the essence of the festival through the image of a dog, Rin, looking forward with an endearing yet highly stylish gaze.
WORLD HAPPINESS 2015 will be held on Sunday, August 23rd, at the Yumenoshima Stadium in Tokyo. Scheduled performers include METAFIVE (Yukihiro Takahashi x Keigo Oyamada x Yoshinori Hayashi x TOWA TEI x Tomohiko Gondo x LEO IMAI), TRICERATOPS, Controversial Spark, Maki Nomiya with Hideki Kaji, Kinniku Shojo Tai, Scha Dara Parr, Maaya Sakamoto, SCANDAL, Masami Tsuchiya [KA.F.KA], clammbon, and LOVE PSYCHEDELICO.
