Yohji Yamamoto exhibition at the V&A




The innovative, amazing designer became internationally renowned in the early 1980’s for challenging traditional notions of fashion by designing garments that seemed oversized, unfinished, played with ideas of gender or fabrics not normally used in fashionable attire such as felt or neoprene.

‘Fabric is everything. Often I tell my pattern makers, “Just listen to the material. What is it going to say? Just wait. Probably the material will tell you something.”‘
- Yohji Yamamoto
