Designer Marathon: Yohji Yamamoto

In this episode of Designer Marathon: Boasting an unconventional yet undeniably beautiful vision, designer Yohji Yamamoto is one of the leading designers of our time. In the early 1980s, with Yamamoto at the forefront, the arrival of the Japanese designers in Paris heralded a darker, more somber aesthetic than the prevailing glitz of the era. The oversized black clothes of the Japanese designers sent a wave of counter-intuitive sex appeal through the fashion world. More than twenty-five years later, Yamamoto remains an innovative and intellectual force in fashion. Yamamoto is the rare designer who is truly avant-garde, continually pushing sartorial boundaries, exploring new silhouettes and fabrications, and challenging us to reevaluate our notions of beauty.
