Yohji Yamamoto was born in Tokyo in 1943 and first showed in Paris in the early 1980s. His subtle, complex cutting has been described as 'architecture for the skin'. His recent work incorporates flowing fabrics and feminine silhouettes, and merges a marked Japanese sensibility with Parisian elegance. He has said 'My most important concern about fashion is still about breaking some code, some tendency, which I do by using fashion'.
