Love Fahion? Hold onto your hats fashion followers and art lovers alike: The
V&A are putting on one hell of a
Yohji Yamamoto & Nick Knight show....Thought I'd share this duet of dreams with you as mentioned the other day at age 19 I did not know who Yamamoto was on first day of fashion school. Do now. So there. Also the fabulous Nick Knight was rammed down all of our throats at
Art Institute Bournemouth cos he graduated from there. Every single tutor mentioned this daily. Whateves. Sure AIB is no Central Saint Martins but it is a first choice art school that really packs a punch outside the big smoke.
Yohji's, who's Japanese btw, has been on the scene some 30 great years. He joined forces with Knight and an unknown graphic designer Peter Saville yonks ago to create 'catalogues' of each seasons work. That is what this exhibition is all about....this amazing unison of creative minds and the sheer brilliance of their visual masterpieces.
There's to be 80 odd garments of his career, film excerpts, photographs and these extraordinary catalogue images. Get down there and show some love for all things fashion photography united.
