    "Because fashion among all the arts expresses the most delicate elements of sensibility, I have no stomach for fads like the Art Complex that was recently so popular. Museums are even worse. No designer really wants his clothes displayed in one. They are where fashion goes to die. It is the same with retrospectives—I will have no part of them, either."

        I did scratch my head when I read that in MDB, but then I don't think the exhibition is intended as a standard retrospective. It is not confined to purely the Fashion space, and there is also an emphasis on his paintings. It is meant to be spread across the V&A, plus the stuff at the Wapping Projects. Hopefully it is more comprehensive. Will hopefully be popping along soon as my health improves a little.

          Well, I think he most likely regrets having written that.

          I need to go to the exhibition too.

            /\ or not. i am sure the v&a exhibit is not all his decision - a museum exhibit always boosts sales and we all know yohji's sales need serious boosting. having said that, he DID do museum exhibitions before, so that statement is a bit eyebrow-raising.

                i saw one in the Musée de la Mode et du Textile at the Louvre a few years ago, and also some of his clothes were part of the current, or recently finished, exhibition there about fashion from 1990 to the present.
                despite the apparent inconsistency in what he says and what he has at least allowed, i agree with him, which is to say that he shoud have stuck to his guns. these things tend to leave me cold. it's like going to a vintage store (albeit a good one), but not being able to buy any of it. yohji's stores are like galleries anyway.

                      Doesn't look half as interesting as the Wim Wenders piece though.

                          Wow, the new investors are really making Yohji work the PR circuit. Poor guy.
