Yoshi Yamamoto Exhibition

Famously renowned designer Yoshi Yamamoto is featuring his work in London for the first time on the 12th March-10th July 2011 at the Victoria and Albert Museum. I for one am thoroughly looking forward to viewing this installation based exhibition featuring 80 different garments alongside excerpts from films, performances and fashion shows.

The iconic Japanese designer refuses the traditional norms of fit, construction and cut in his designs. and makes use of his Japanese roots by creating and using unusual fabrics with traditional Japanese dyeing and embroidery. By Playfully androgenising his clothes, several of his designs that were created for men have been featured on women. He has featured in numerous catwalks around the globe and has a celebrity following including the likes of Nicole Richie, Katie Holmes and Jennifer Aniston who are featured below in some more commercial pieces.
