    You are most welcome :)

    I think this is one of the few articles recently that actually give some new information abt him.

      I should be getting a reviewer's copy - will let you know. You don't have to preorder it, unless you want to satisfy your consumerist urges - it's not like these books are limited edition.

        I was thinking of preordering because it looks quite informative (and I know nothing about Yohji), plus it could serve as a timely reminder to go to London. I'll be waiting to read your reaction though.

          Really wish I'd been exposed to Yohji sooner. Thanks for this thread!

            Finally got the Yohji "bio" My Dear Bomb.
            What a suprise. For some reason I thought it was a coventional biography.
            Well it is nothing like that. In typical Yohji style it is more his musings on life, design etc.
            Kind of like a Zen biography.

              It's so very beautiful, a cut onyx stone.

                      My "My dear bomb" is taking forever to arrive... it's been more than 3 weeks now since it was shipped, amazon is never that long usually.

                      Dane : do you have the end of the interview ? There are only 3 pages and it ends with a question.


                      Also, does anyone know which collection these garnments come from ? Thanks !

                        ^^ I do not, sorry. It's an excerpt form the V&A exhibition book.

                            I have to say I enjoyed My Dear Bomb immensly, both of the main sections and that last short essay by Matsuoka. I liked Yohji's musings on small construction details, the way he thinks about tailoring, and stuff like fabric, buttons, shoulders, pockets, style. All in all, a good read.
