Designing Away from the Body


Yohji Yamamoto
 The designer that has been the most inspiring to my collection through his design practice creating volume and shape away from the body. The body is used as a palette to build on, creating a space between the body and the garment.

'Space is movement' Yohji Yamamoto

Asymmetry is a basic element of Yamamoto's designs unbalancing proportions to create a different sense of movement. This ties in well to my concept i have been researching considering the elements of gender performance including energy, motion, gestures and repitition.
