Gorgeous black dress spotted I need some time and more pictures from various angles to digest it, but I love most of it.
I also heard about an exhibition dedicated to Yohji at the V&A museum in summer 2011, but there's nothing on the website so far... althought the book they are publishing might be a confirmation.

Such a bizarre coincidence that it's simultaneously done with the FIT exhibit.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

Even better than the Barbican exhibition:
YOHJI YAMAMOTO AT THE V&A
From 12 March - 11 July 2011, the V&A will present a retrospective of the work of visionary Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto. Conceived as a site-specific installation with its core in Gallery 38 and small interventions throughout the V&A, Yamamoto’s menswear collections will be included in the display of his work for the first time. Each space will take its own meaning within the narrative of the exhibition which explores Yohji Yamamoto’s design world.
Follow exhibition curator, Ligaya Salazar, as she documents the evolution of the exhibition and offers an insight into the research, design and installation process.
Curator is the editor of the accompanying V&A book that Lumina posted.

yes the shirt is nice. he gives interesting designs to the back too. but he seems to be talking about the back trailing some kind of lyricism. so it doesn't necessarily have to be particularly interesting. it can also be simple.
one's back makes your mind and senses more receptive. then the back starts to talk about something about the person. maybe something more about the person's inside, with your own feelings included. the back can make you get a bit emotional. there is nothing dramatic in particular done in this painting ( athough the subject is toro-nagashi. the objects on the water are not ships nor boats. perhaps the woman is thinking of the departed, her husband ).
but it's almost like you can see her life through the back, the back line.
I think he means he wants to let his designs do this kind of thing.
