Yohji YamamotoFluence: The Continuance of Yohji Yamamoto: Photographs by Takay

Fue un regalo y a la persona le encantó, la calidad de las hojas y las imágenes es buenísima.

I am really disappointed with this book.As a fashion book on Yohji, whose name features prominently in the title, it fails completely as Yohji’s clothes are pretty much invisible - it could be voluminous clothing by any designer.As a book of portraits, it is also unsatisfactory as the personalities of the subjects are subsumed to stylistic considerations.The photos themselves come across as repetitive, albeit quite atmospheric and often beautiful - slightly out of focus black and white pictures of buildings and people, mostly in silhouette, with a lot of emphasis placed on expressive contortions of the hands like a Schiele drawing.They can basically be seen as atmosphere shots to accompany clothing shots in a fashion feature, but a bookful is simply too much.While I love black and white photography, I found myself rather bored after a number of pages as they just looked the same, and only a few were exceptional.I would advise anyone who considers buying this to look through it before they decide.
