Notebook on Cities and Clothes (German: Aufzeichnungen zu Kleidern und Städten) is a 1989 documentary film about Yohji Yamamoto directed by Wim Wenders. Despite Wender's previous disdain for fashion, he undertook filming after being commissioned by the Pompidou Center in Paris.[1]

Content

The film loosely centers on a series of interviews with Yamamoto, interspersed with footage of his atelier, previous work and his then upcoming show. Notably, Yamamoto's comments and philosophical musings lead Wenders to make his own comments about the nature of cities, identity, and the role of cinema in modern life.
