Yohji Yamamoto Biography: My Dear Bomb

Yohji Yamamoto tells his own story in 'My Dear Bomb', using a combination of fiction, philosophical essays, memoir, and exclusive images. This book offers a radical look into the life and influences of one of the world's top fashion designers. It has been created with Yamamoto's distinctive style, making it a must-read for fashion enthusiasts and those who appreciate strong, creative personalities.

Throughout the pages, we see Yamamoto as a tough realist who is not afraid to be honest ("I am, in fact, a man who may turn heartless in an instant; I desire only to settle each and every score immediately"). We also witness his exceptional talent as a designer with a natural instinct for his materials ("How does the cloth want to drape, to sway, to fall? If one keeps these things in mind and looks very carefully, the fabric itself begins to speak"). The book is illustrated with Yamamoto's own drawings, adding a personal touch to this introspective narrative that reimagines the traditional autobiography form in the same way the designer reimagines fashion.
