Description

Since the early 1980s, Yohji Yamamoto's pioneering silhouettes and innovative design aesthetic have propelled him to the highest ranks of the international avant-garde. Distinguished by his anti-fashion approach, Yamamoto changed the face of modern fashion. He radically transformed it with asymmetrical and high-concept designs inspired in part by the techniques of traditional Japanese kimonos. His vision was a refreshing contrast to the power suits and flamboyantly dressed fashions of the time, forcing us to reconsider the future direction of fashion. In YAMAMOTO & YOHJI, this luxuriously bound book explores all the major themes from forty years of his counter-fashion design, showing for the first time his work not only on the Yamamoto brands, but also on his Y's brand. Also various collaborations in architecture, films, plays, literature.

Each chapter is devoted to a specific topic - sartorialnal philosophy, influential extensions in scenography, catwalk shows, monographic exhibitions and costume design. It's all anchored by an essay or interview that provides crucial insight into the story of Yohji Yamamoto, one of the most enigmatic and iconoclastic fashion designers of our time.
