Yohji
Yamamoto was born in Tokyo in 1943 and first showed in Paris in
the early 1980s. His subtle, complex cutting has been described
as 'architecture for the skin'. His recent work incorporates flowing
fabrics and feminine silhouettes, and merges a marked Japanese sensibility
with Parisian elegance. He has said 'My most important concern about
fashion is still about breaking some code, some tendency, which
I do by using fashion'.
