Designer update

yohji in the forbidden city

April 25, 2008  5:06 pm

Beijing

Staging a fashion show within the Forbidden City in Beijing has many risks—not least that the setting will upstage the clothing. The grandeur of the backdrop didn’t deter Yohji Yamamoto, however; on Thursday he unveiled a Y’s collection of 60 unique pieces that are to be auctioned tomorrow for the Yohji Yamamoto Fund for Peace. The fund aims to bring a promising upcoming Chinese designer to the West for a two-year scholarship and training. “This project is very close and personal to me,” the designer explained. “It’s something I want to do.” Bridging the gap between Japan and China was always going to be a complex endeavor, but Yamamoto’s conviction transcended the hyped backdrop. As for the clothes, the juxtaposition of soft, billowing fabrics and sharply tailored cuts merged seamlessly, reflecting that while this reconciliation might not seem immediately plausible, it has the potential to be beautiful.
