Yohji Making Waves

Making up the third element of the series of exhibitions devoted to the work of the iconic Japanese desgner Yohji Yamamoto in 2011, The Wapping Project will install just one major piece in the cavernous Boiler House of The Wapping Hydraulic Power Station-the celebrated, oversizes white silk wedding dress with bamboo crinoline (Autumn-Winter 1998)



This is a calm, contemplative work which should also disarm and amuse, bringing together a sense of fun and juxtaposing it with an auster beauty. Paradox lies at the heart of Yohji Yamamoto´s clothes and it is with this striking installation that we attempt to do justice to his vision.

This installation is created with Yamamoto´s long-time collaborator, scenographer and lighting designer, Masao Nihei.
