Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In keeping with Rizzoli's position as the leading publisher of books on fashion, this major monograph on Yohji Yamamoto is the first comprehensive survey of his over four decades of design. This volume will be a must-have for the high fashion, style, and photography set.
The handsome volume chronicles the complete work and inspirations of Yohji Yamamoto, one of fashion's most transformative designers working today, widely revered as one of the masters of postwar fashion design. Yamamoto's role as one of the key exponents of minimalism and deconstruction is formally elaborated, establishing him both as a beloved cult figure and an as a truly transformational figure in global fashion.
The lightness of the dark / Yohji Yamamoto in conversation with Yvonne Baby
Since the early \'80s, Yohji Yamamoto\'s groundbreaking silhouettes and innovative design aesthetic have propelled him to the highest rank of the international avant-garde. Distinguished by his anti-fashion approach, Yamamoto changed the face of contemporary fashion, radically transforming it with asymmetrical and highly conceptual designs partly inspired by the techniques of traditional Japanese kimonos. His vision came as a refreshing contrast to the power suits and brightly clad fashions of the time, forcing a reconsideration of the future direction of fashion. In Yamamoto & Yohji, this luxuriously bound book explores all the major themes in his forty years of counter-fashion design showing for the very first time his work not only on the Yamamoto brands but as well on his brand Y\'s and these various collaborations in architecture, movies, plays, literature. Illustrated with photographs by Craig McDean, Inez & Vinoodh, Max Vadukul and Nick Knight, each chapter elaborates on a particular theme - his sartorial philosophy, influential extensions into scenography, runway shows, monographic exhibitions, and costume design - and is anchored by an essay or interview that lends crucial insight to the story of Yohji Yamamoto, one of the most enigmatic and iconoclastic fashion designers of our time. --from book description, Amazon.com.
