Yohji Yamamoto Exhibition

Time is running out on my chances to go and see the Yohji Yamamoto exhibition at the V&A, so before it closes on the 10th I decided to head into town and take a look. I am so pleased that I did.

In the hope that I could replicate the feel of his style, only in a slightly subtly was more suited to my life.
