"Is .. My work as an icon, he has not only as a brand for me, he was also a part of his trademark work," Tatehana said in a recent interview at his Tokyo workshop, cluttered art books, and his elegant shoes - with a sparkling Swarovski crystals, some with gold studs.
The 26-year-old, the monk reminds a pensive mood with his quiet voice, long hair in a bun and baggy pants Yohji Yamamoto is bound, was still a student, began his career as a. In fact, the first pair of Lady Gaga Tatehanas had been the subject of his thesis at the prestigious University of the Arts in Tokyo, where he studied traditional weaving and dyeing kimono.
He made shoes with pink, reptile leather from a future sting rays, common in Japanese art and crafts such as decorative swords. He began his fashion label of trumpets in the design of an e-mail he sent dozens of people in the industry.
He received only three responses: one from a blogger, journalist and as a fashion designer Lady Gaga.
Lady Gaga was unavailable for comment. But the fashion guru and beer heiress Daphne Guinness said it is a big fan
