"I think perfection is a horrible thing: i want to see scars, failure, disorder and distortion. The clothes describe knowledge, language, art and love, time and death. The condition of man, suspended between creation and struggle ". Together with issey miyake and rei kawakubo, yamamoto questions the canons of the structure of the dress, inviting fashion to reflect on new identity possibilities. That intended by yamamoto is not a body to be revealed, but a body that acts on the dress and it transformed it. To guide his creations is the interiority of the wearer, the sign of a perceptual revolution and rebellion against haute couture in the first half of the twentieth century. The press call yamamoto "Post-atomic stylist" at the begins his career , turning the spotlight on clothes deliberately destroyed and crossed by gashes, works of denunciation against the violence of the war. Yamamoto is also the champion of total black: black is the prevailing color of its catwalks, a real invitation to introspection and a tool for creating universal silhouettes. "Black - he explains - is at the same time modest and arrogant, lazy and easy, yet always mysterious". In japanese tradition, black is the color associated with the figure of the peasant and the spirit of the samurai, as well as the bunraku theater. If necessary, in the yamamoto collections the "Color of the shadows" is enhanced by white or bright tones (yellow, blue, green and red), intended as flashes of light in the dark. Finally, another key word of his style is freedom: clean asymmetrical cuts, oversize fit, unisex garments, mix of fabrics, elimination of details and decorations, clean and minimal lines. Her looks are sometimes unfinished, with basting and visible stitching, far from beauty ideals and stereotypes.
