Yohji Yamamoto Y's for Men


Undated and Uncredited this one's a bit of a mystery. Published in Tokyo, huge and beautiful, featuring very classic Yamamoto fare, with men, women and old people modelling. Nice.

Yohji Yamamoto F/W 1997-1998


One of the best of the M/M period. Paolo Roversi on top form shooting Kirsten Owen. M/M photocopy, distort, bleach and rearrange on numerous papers, sizes and colours. A triumph of art direction.

Yohji Yamamoto F/W 1998-1999


Right- no ordinary look book here, Inez and Vinoodh shoot, Maggie Rizer models, and M/M art direct. Very surreal props, framing, lighting and connotations of witchcraft vie for equal attention with the clothes, which of course are super.

Yohji Yamamoto S/S 2001


Great as always Yamamoto featuring Erika Wall. Production is insane. Basically like a giant notepad, the design is structural, so the photography is pretty untampered with compared to most M/M collaborations, and shows some of McDean's better work.
