I've been thinking of preordering this, what do you think?
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.
Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde
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.

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.

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.
