Myanmar-born Sithu Aung (@yryanh) is a student at three of Tokyo’s top fashion schools. Both his shirt and pants are his own designs. He told us that his shirt is made from bedsheets that were important to him as a child, and that his recent designs are inspired by his homeland of Myanmar. He was also wearing JW Anderson, Balenciaga, and Limi Feu when we met him on the street in Aoyama.
When we first met Sithu Aung – also known as Yang Han or Ryan (he has three names in three languages) – last year, we were amazed to learn that he attends Bunka Fashion College (@bunka_fc), @Coconogacco, and @MESchool.Fashion. The latter two schools only accept a small number of exceptional students each year. He also studied business and engineering in Singapore before developing an interest in fashion design and moving to Japan.
