Very few wear vintage head-to-toe with the same refinement and creativity as my friend Yo Miyamoto. Yo is a freelance journalist and blogger and takes pride in his multi-tinted and multi-textured Salvation Army looks that cost him next to nothing. If I only had the diligence to regularly scour through racks of second-hand clothing, and the courage to wear more color, my life would be more moneyed and more joyfully-hued.
vintage coat, sweater, and shirt, Comme des Garcons drop-crotch trousers, vintage Premiata shoes
Yo's favorite date spot in NYC is a wine bar called The Immigrant in the East Village, and the last song he downloaded was Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence by Ryuichi Sakamoto.
texture and pattern play: a bleached denim coat, a crinkled polyester sweater, and a lace-print shirt
an odd assortment of vintage rings, all in silver
an ornate vintage brass cuff
Henrik Vibskov socks and clowny-cool vintage Premiata shoes
blue, crinkled, and Miyake-esque
Many of Yo's thrifted pieces are women's, but I commend him for the masculinity with which he puts everything together.
just like Omotesando
Yo was recently photographed by Scott Schuman of The Sartorialist in a post entitled "Advanced Style". See the post here.

he really is rocking it. i'm quite envious of its ease
saw him on The Sart! Awesome to hear he thrifts all of his looks and to get to know him a bit better - thanks for that!
Incredible style. I should thrift more.
Woah thanks for sharing. I feel like some of those are pieces I would normally just skim past at a thrift store. He really pulls off things a lot of people couldn't
I do - however - have a pair of sweat pants in the exact material of that navy shirt he's wearing. I suddenly feel more justified in wearing it. Ha!
damn, everything i'm seeing here i'm loving. the photos are great. and so is everything he's wearing.
thanks for this!
