Publisher's Synopsis
As one of the most mentally rigorous designers working in fashion, Yohji Yamamoto creates garments that can be intellectual-sometimes even difficult-yet always beautiful. Yamamoto's free-spirited world is explored here via i-D magazine's archives starting back in the 1980s, including his adoration for women and the female form, the painful process of creating anti-fashion through fashion and how his timeless utilitarian designs can be both avant-garde and classic at once.
Packed into 120 pages is biographical and personal information as well as imagery from over 30 years of i-D's history with images from photographers including Paolo Roversi, Max Vadukul, and Nick Knight, plus interviews with Jamie Huckbody, Holly Shackleton, and Terry Jones.
