Yohji Yamamoto @ V&A

Celebrating 30 years of ground-breaking fashion, the V&A has been exhibiting a beautiful retrospective of the Yohji Yamamoto's work since early March. The exhibition only has a few more weeks to run, ending on July 10th, so luckily I had the chance to sneak away from the office for a quick tour of inspiration and education around the installation.

While Yohji Yamamato might not be as regular a presence on Chic&Seek as we might like - we have got one beautiful leather tote bag available now - his designs are always distinct and more often than not breath-taking. If any of you haven't yet had the chance, I'd recommend taking an hour or two to get lost in YY's pure passion for innovative design, appreciation for timeless craftsmanship, and above all else, his love of fabric and textiles.

Remember ladies, this exhibition uses timed tickets so you might want to book in advance - though I have to admit that I did just turn up and waltz in....
