The vast work of Japanese fashion legend Yohji Yamamoto is finally being immortalized into a retrospective.

The book, entitled Yohji Yamamoto, is edited by Curator of Contemporary Programmes Ligaya Salazar and features vivid images of Yamamoto’s work by photographer Max Vadukul. Inside content of the retrospect book include an interview of the designer as well as a round table discussion by his key collaborators Nick Knight, Peter Saville and Marc Ascoli.
