Haruko Wanibuchi and Kansai Yamamoto


Former Avedon Assistant Tad Wakamatsu's 1970 book 'Ipy Girl Ipy' is, as everybody knows, amazing. Also amazing is that Kansai Yamamoto did the costumes. These images are from First and Last, which is kind of a retrospective celebration of the original book, with lots of outtakes, interviews and texts. As the original Ipy Girl was a nude book, there wasn't so much in terms of clothing, so this is the first time Yamamoto's full designs have been seen. Enjoy!
