TOKYO (CNN) -- Computerized graphic elements add a futuristic edge to the spring/summer fashions from Takao Yamashita. The designer calls his collection "Beauty:Beast" to emphasize the struggle between good and evil.

He says clothes are one way of creating a dialogue between people to explore their true inner feelings. He likes neutrals accented with neon colors and prints that have their own strong personalities.
