YEN:01: AI-Driven Streetwear Mythology
Enter YEN:01 — Streetwear Mythology Reimagined Through AI
YEN:01 is not just a clothing concept — it’s a full-blown urban mythology. Every element, from embroidered dragons dancing across bomber jackets to hyperreal portraits of tattooed Tokyo rebels, was crafted with intention — using nothing but text prompts, design logic, and AI-powered imagination.
No cameras. No photoshoots. No physical garments. Just vision, atmosphere, and the tech to make it visceral

This isn't a mock brand. YEN:01 was structured like a real fashion campaign — only every piece was imagined, directed, and generated using AI. My role wasn’t to “design pictures.” It was to design an ecosystem — where identity, visual story, and style fused together through layered, controlled prompt engineering.
Each scene in this project mirrors a different lookbook frame:
Street samurais and shrine rebels standing under torii gates at dusk
Chrome-lit models wrapped in koi, dragon, fox, and flame motifs
Custom jackets, oversized kimonos, and cropped windbreakers with mythological embroidery
Tattooed arms and digital fabric textures melting into cinematic lighting
2-model compositions with dynamic posing: one standing, one crouched or reclining — but always connected in energy
Every visual was prompt-led — from pose direction to garment theme to ambient lighting — to ensure that even without physical models, every image feels alive.
The YEN:01 logo was created in Ideogram AI, carefully balancing Tokyo street calligraphy with futuristic symmetry. It’s aggressive yet elegant — sharp strokes meet clean proportions. No generic font. No overdesigned mark. Just one word, one colon, one impact.
The brand’s identity carries in every visual: color contrast, posing attitude, lighting drama, and cultural reverence. And it all flows back to the name: YEN:01 — the first unit of a new visual currency.
Why I Created YEN:01
I wanted to test a theory: Can AI be used not just to generate content, but to art-direct an entire brand experience — in fashion, with emotion, and cultural depth?
YEN:01 is my answer. It proves that with intentional prompt design, even streetwear can feel spiritual, cinematic, and visceral — all without stitching a single thread.
