Yohji Yamamoto

That's what I've been harping on for the past 5 years or so.

It's good to know I am not the only one=)

Thought I could share one of his phrases with you, devoted fans of Yohji Yamamoto, as it has impressed me truly: "You can say that designing is quite easy. The difficulty lies in finding a new way to explore beauty" Do you have any thoughts?

WTF???

Yohji Yamamoto x adidas adizero f50

Indeed.

But you realize that the WTF factor is only amplified with the gargantuan size of the images, right?

Will you please size them down a bit so that viewers won't have to scroll horizontally to see them in their entirety? I worry we may leave a few poor souls cross-eyed if they remain like this.

just thought i would mention yohji is 70 today.

oh really? Happy birthday to him!

I recently read something about Yohji being in Moscow? does anyone have details for that? It was a launch of sorts?

I can't remember if I've seen these videos here but if that's the case, here they are again.

there are 3-4 people from y-3 working in the tokyo's studio. same massive room where they do the main lines. yohji is constantly overseeing and just direct. with the main line there is constant back and forth, where he cuts and shows his team what needs doing and what is wrong. pretty much as he does in "note book on city and clothes". hundreds of fittings and attempts are needed until he approve something or reject it after months of work because is just not good.

Thank you for clarifying that. I'd be really interested in learning more on the inner workings if you'd care to elaborate on the process or share a resource.

exactly, Y3 isnt even a 2nd line. Im pretty sure yohji has lesser creative licence than Jil Sander/Undercover for Uniqlo. He just enjoys the extra money and time to do some 'light work'.

besides everyone knows the real stuff will be in Paris anyway.
