When Yohji Yamamotoannounced that his very first biography is to be released in October,
we must admit that we expected the usual rags-to-riches story with an awful lot of gloating and good PR. We were in for a sweet surprise. Yamamoto’s biography, entitled My Dear Bomb (alluding to his random spurts of creative energy, not actual explosives), doesn’t just discuss the man behind the designs, but also, his philosophies. With over four decades of experience under his belt and a daughter that debuted on the Paris catwalk as a designer in 2007, we’re sure he has quite a lot to say. The book will also include rare and personal photographs of the designer, along with a year-by-year biography. We’ve got a nice, cozy corner of our bookshelf already picked out. [Telegraph UK]
