Designer: Yohji Yamamoto

born 1943

Medium: Blue chambray squares, metal rings

In this collection, an exercise in "doing something graphic," Yohji Yamamoto took triangles of material and linked them together with metal rings a la Paco Rabanne. The effect was to emphasize the moving body underneath the articulated bodice.
