About this product
Product Information
Yohji Yamamoto led the Japanese fashion wave of the 1980s and 1990s into the new millennium. In October 2009, after a series of bad investments, Yamamoto Inc. went bankrupt; by the end of that year the designer had inaugurated a new business and a complete reevaluation of his direction. My Dear Bomb is an outcome of this transition moment. Coauthored with Ai Mitsuda, this carefully and beautifully written autobiography (with biographical interpolations by friends and collaborators) seamlessly combines extended meditations on clothing and life with Yamamoto's memories and anecdotes, in short, concise paragraphs. Throughout its pages, we encounter Yamamoto as a tough realist unburdened by disingenuousness (I am, in fact, a man who may turn heartless in an instant; I desire only to settle each and every score immediately); and, of course, as a great designer blessed with unerring instinct for his materials (how does the cloth want to drape, to sway, to fall? If one keeps these things in mind and looks very carefully, the fabric itself begins to speak). Illustrated with drawings by Yamamoto, this open-hearted meditation offers a take on the autobiography form as imaginative as the designer's fashion wear.

Listed as fully tested but arrived partially dysfunctional - would not load or read CDs, although DAC stage worked well. Damage during transit proposed by seller. Partial refund proposed and promptly given. Communications were good and efforts to package the item were convincing.
