Yohji Yamamoto

Stumbled upon this photo shoot in one of my old magazines today. Clothes are from homme and femme FW07. Don't have a scanner so I took pictures of them (so quality is not perfect)

It should come out in the United States sometime in October.

It says "published in English" - doesn't mean it's coming out here. I see it on preorder only on Amazon UK.

Found this quote by Eugene Hutz while researching another designer,

"The only designer worth bothering with is Yohji Yamamoto. His stuff is timeless."

He will be able to tell you when it will be in stock in New york as he has the distribution rights (through Idea Books in the Netherlands).
(Obviously take out the _at_ and replace).

Makes sense. No other designer's work in the last 30 years I can think of is as impervious to dating like Yohji's. You can wear a Yohji jacket from 1984 and it looks like 2010, Yohji or otherwise.

Still, you can't call him classic. He's avantgarde and timeless.

I think FW07 Yohji mens might be my favorite collection of the last 5 years. The silhouettes look very modern to me right now. I didn't really start paying attention to Yohji until the season after that...wish I'd caught on sooner.

Sorry Faust, I couldn't resist.

YY + KK = the years 2000, for the millennium, a united humanity, a new integrated world.

oh man i gotta come clean, from my point of view here Yohji had to have dug that moment.

[Faust]

I don't know who that woman is.

[Fade to Black]

you're not missing out on a whole lot. the kinda woman only diggable from a pictorial distance, with as little information as possible.

[MASUGNEN]

YY is quite womenly eager, isn't he?
