Yohji Yamamoto Dream Shop
MoMu is welcoming an exhibition devoted to Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto.
The third installment of a series beginning with the Pitti Immagine Foundation in Florence and the Musée de la Mode et du Textile in Paris, the Antwerp show is entitled Dream Shop.
Halfway the exhibition the visitor enters the Dream Shop: a white, dream-like space where visitors can try on around twenty pieces in neon-drenched changing cubicles.
Thought of in two parts, this event will at once be a retrospective of the designer's work and also a unique threefold experience of his creative work: visual, tactile and corporal.
Yamamoto's designs strike the perfect balance between creative simplicity and technical virtuosity and refinement.
His unique ability to combine the elegance of French haute couture with the traditions of Japanese dress results in pieces that are at once pure and sculptural.
Mise en scène by Masao Nihei - recognized for his particular treatment of light in his work on fashion shows - Dream Shop will present 80 silhouettes, from the late 1980s to today.
