When I first saw this title, I thought it would be a profound book about fashion design theory. I opened the package with trepidation, but the cover I saw stunned me.
The cover shows yohji yamamoto kneeling in front of his clothes and thinking quietly. The whole picture is outlined in black and gray, and the cover interwoven with black and gray is less noisy in color and more solemn. From the cover, I can't help but look forward to yohji yamamoto's style.
This book is not so much a theory book as a personal biography of yohji yamamoto. Compared with the obscurity of urban fashion shorthand, this book is still very friendly to me.
The book tells the story of yohji yamamoto's 68-year design career from 1943 to 20 1 1. When he lost his father in childhood, he was brought up by his mother. The busy figure of his mother in "Fu Mei Clothing Store" day and night probably left a deep impression on young yohji yamamoto and made him love the job of designer from the bottom of his heart.
In the book, he said a passage like this: "I think that' creating things' itself is' destroying things', breaking the existing beautiful things and making them completely different. This is a kind of destruction, isn't it? Perfect and ugly. I hope to see defects, failures, confusion and distortions in things made by human beings. Perfection is the presentation of order and harmony and the result of compulsion. Free humans don't expect such a thing.
Perfection is a rule, under which perfection is monotonous. And yohji yamamoto's pursuit has always been to break the rules. But it is precisely because he constantly adheres to his anti-rule concept that he will continue to innovate in fashion design. As he said, yohji yamamoto himself is going to "oppose Yaosi". Keep putting pressure on yourself
So is my clothes, and so is the point card. Creativity and innovation are precious. Similarity will eventually disappear from everyone. The card of the white shirt needs to be typed again! The way of communication with traffic must be changed. If the mountain is not just me, I will also go to the mountain.
