London's obsession with Japanese fashion continues with the V&A's big spring exhibition, Yohji Yamamoto.
Following on from the massive success of Future Beauty: 30 Years of Japanese Fashion at the Barbican (read our beast of a review of that one here), the V&A gets to grips with one designer in particular, who's visionary designs have captivated audiences the world over for three decades.
The exhibition boasts over 90 iconic pieces and is an installation-based exhibition (not a morose chronological one) so you're face to face with the clothes.
You can see an exclusive interview with the curator, Ligaya Salazar, here.
