[softgrey]

LMAO......

thx fausty...thx kit...

DON'T GET ME STARTED !!!

Incidentally , the film is one million times better than the two Yves Saint Laurent films , on one DVD , made by David Taboul .

That DVD is literally like watching paint dry ; it's so slow moving and painful watching the drug - damaged Yves go through the motions .

The Yohji DVD is a MUST .

Softie, the mag is $20. If you are going today, we can meet (I can't get out of my mind some women's Yohji pieces that I saw yesterday). We are due for the good-bye lunch anyway, since I am moving to Wall Street

wonderful article! thanx

Faust--that's where the new job is

 

[faust]

I'd like to see this film also. What did you think of A Faust?

Ooop, sorry, totally missed your post. I love it so far. I only read the first 3 interviews, though. Great interview with Yohji and Charlotte Rampling.

 

[faust]

Faust--that's where the new job is

Yes, unfortunately. I'll be all over Manhttan though, on projects. This company is moving down there anyway, so the location was no longer a factor. Otherwise I'd think harder.

 

[purechris]

gotcha!

excerpt from boston globe 4/1/2004
http://www.boston.com/news/globe/living/articles/2004/04/01/on_the_cutting_edge/

Q. When will you stop designing?
A. Maybe seven years.
Q. Then what will happen?
A. Maybe my daughter will take my place. She's 29 and has her own line, "Limi." It looks like my clothing.

does anyone know about this Limi line?

yes - there's a huge thread on it in Designers and Collections "Limi Feu and Trace" I think it's called.

ok, by now i'm probably infamous for posting/quoting articles and or websites but i couldn't resist...i am a fan of people's interpretations...

French electronic musician Jean-Michel Jarre once defined Yohji Yamamoto's style like this: "For me, a woman in Yohji is like a nymphomaniac nun. His clothes are at once sensual and very ritualistic."

from yohji yamamoto: talking to myself book and it says 'He currently lives in Japan with long-time partner Rei Kawakubo, and relaxes by playing harmonica with a band called Suicide City'

 

[softgrey]

another yohji quote from an article that travolta posted in another thread...thx travolta......

Yamamoto explained his philosophy in this way (Duka 1983: 63

Men’s clothing is more pure in design. It’s more simple and has no decoration. Women want that. When I started designing, I wanted to make men’s clothes for women. But there were no buyers for it. Now there are. I always wonder who decided that there should be a difference in the clothes of men and women. Perhaps men decided this.
