Podcasts about Yohji Yamamoto

Contre vents et marées, certains designers veulent encore conserver leur liberté d'expression, loin des esprits délétères. Pour elles et pour eux, vêtir est un acte social, politique. Ils, elles, refusent de se soumettre aux injonctions d'un ordre soi-disant moral, prônent le mélange des genres et la diversité, luttent contre les dérives fascistes. Jeanne Friot, Walter van Beirendonck, Ahmed Hassan, Louis-Gabriel Nouchi, Yohji Yamamoto et Willy Chavarria en sont les exemples les plus marquants.

For some designers, fashion is less about clothes themselves, and more about what those clothes can convey. They see fashion as primarily a political endeavour, a means of challenging a status quo that too often seeks to erase the individual for the alleged benefit of the social order. They champion diversity, gender fluidity and disruption. Jeanne Friot, Walter van Beirendonck, Ahmed Hassan, Louis-Gabriel Nouchi, Yohji Yamamoto and Willy Chavarria are among the group's most outspoken voices. FRANCE 24 checks out their latest collections.

Yohji Yamamoto no diseña ropa: diseña silencios, sombras y gestos. En este episodio exploramos la filosofía detrás de uno de los creadores más influyentes y enigmáticos de la moda contemporánea. Desde su irrupción en los años 80 hasta su diálogo constante con la imperfección, el tiempo y la identidad, analizamos cómo su obra convierte la ausencia en una forma de belleza. Entre la tradición japonesa y la rebeldía del punk, Yohji Yamamoto construyó una estética que cuestiona el género, la elegancia y la idea misma de modernidad. Un recorrido por su pensamiento, su influencia en la cultura visual y su manera de entender la ropa como un refugio, un lenguaje y una resistencia.

What does it mean to shape culture through design? For Peter Saville CBE, one of the most influential designers of our time, it has always been about perception. From his early work at Factory Records, crafting the visual identities of Joy Division and New Order, to collaborations with fashion houses like Yohji Yamamoto, Burberry, Calvin Klein and Chanel, Saville has consistently redefined how we experience music, fashion, and culture. Now in his late sixties, he reflects on a career that blurred the lines between art, design and branding, sometimes to his dismay, as he laments the loss of authenticity in today’s brand-saturated world. Listen as Vince and Peter explore his iconic album covers, his transition from music to fashion and cultural institutions, and why, in his words, he has “always been designing himself.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In dieser Podcast-Folge betrachten wir die Antifashion – von der japanischen Avantgarde um Rei Kawakubo, Yohji Yamamoto und Issey Miyake bis zu ihrem nachhaltigen Einfluss auf die heutige Mode. Schon seit einiger Zeit beschäftigt uns das Thema Antifashion und seine erstaunliche Vielfalt. Nun ist es endlich soweit: Wir starten eine neue Podcast-Serie über dieses faszinierende Modephänomen, das nicht nur Trends hinterfragt, sondern die Modegeschichte nachhaltig geprägt hat. In dieser ersten Episode nimmt euch Nadine mit nach Paris – in die Modemetropole, in der die japanischen Avantgarde-Designer den Begriff Antifashion in den 1980er Jahren auf die große Bühne brachten. Bereits in den 1970er Jahren begannen junge Nachwuchsdesigner und Künstler in Japan, traditionelle Handwerkstechniken mit neuen Mode-Philosophien zu verbinden. Sie stellten bewusst einen Gegenpol zu den gängigen westlichen Trends dar und schufen so ein neues ästhetisches Vokabular. Anfang der Achtziger zog es diese kreativen Köpfe nach Paris, wo sie mit radikalen Ideen den internationalen Durchbruch feierten. Allen voran Rei Kawakubo, die Gründerin des ikonischen Labels Comme des Garçons. Ihre erste Show im Jahr 1981 sorgte für Aufsehen und polarisierte die Modekritik. Kawakubos Entwürfe standen für eine kompromisslose Haltung gegen Konventionen – dekonstruiert, experimentell und voller künstlerischer Sprengkraft. Doch Antifashion bedeutet nicht, Mode abzulehnen. Vielmehr richtet sich die Bewegung gegen kurzlebige Trends und Zwänge der Konsumgesellschaft. Sie sucht nach neuen ästhetischen Blickwinkeln, setzt auf Nachhaltigkeit und versteht sich oft auch als Teil einer politischen Gegenbewegung. Neben Kawakubo prägte auch Yohji Yamamoto die Bewegung. Gemeinsam mit ihr eroberte er Paris – allerdings mit einer weniger radikalen, dafür poetischen Designsprache. Fließende Formen, eine reduzierte Farbpalette und subtile japanische Einflüsse zeichneten seine Entwürfe aus. Yamamotos zeitlose Eleganz inspiriert bis heute Generationen von Modemachern. Auch Issey Miyake darf in dieser Aufzählung nicht fehlen. Er rückte schon früh das Textil selbst in den Mittelpunkt seiner Arbeit. Mit experimentellen Techniken wie dem Plissee schuf er Kleidungsstücke, die den Körper umspielten, ihn umhüllten – oft ganz ohne Nähte. Miyakes Vision von Mode war innovativ, funktional und zugleich zutiefst künstlerisch. Bis heute wirkt der Einfluss dieser japanischen Avantgarde stark nach. Rund um Antifashion hat sich eine leidenschaftliche Community gebildet, die neue Werte und ästhetische Konzepte in der Mode schätzt: Freiheit, Individualität, Authentizität. In unserem Mode-Podcast sprechen wir nicht nur über die Entwürfe der 80er-Jahre. Ganz im Gegenteil: Wir betrachten auch die aktuellen Kollektionen dieser Designer und fragen uns, wie ihre Ideen die Gegenwart inspirieren. Denn Antifashion ist nicht nur ein Kapitel der Modegeschichte – es ist eine Haltung, die bis heute relevant bleibt. Entdecke mit uns die avantgardistische Welt von Rei Kawakubo, Yohji Yamamoto und Issey Miyake. Lass dich inspirieren von radikalen Entwürfen, visionären Konzepten und einer Bewegung, die Mode neu gedacht hat. Alle besprochenen Looks der Designer, findest du natürlich wie immer auf unseren Social-Media-Kanälen bei Instagram und TikTok unter @lostonplanetfashion.

Our guest on this episode is Gene Pressman, of the great retail family that made Barneys into a New York fashion institution that has become part of the city lore and that has left an indelible mark on fashion itself. Barneys was a trailblazer, a temple for true fashion cognoscenti. Gene's new book, out September 2nd is called "They All Came to Barneys: A Personal History of the World's Greatest Store." We see no lies; Barneys was the world's greatest store, and we all came there. Gene walks us through the ark of his career, through the changes he has witnessed in the store and in New York City since the '60s and through the '90s. He talks about the seismic changes in fashion he has witnessed firsthand, such as the rise of Giorgio Armani, the ascendance of Yohji Yamamoto and Rei Kawakubo, the wonder of the Antwerp Six, and his long-lasting friendship with Azzedine Alaia. We also discuss the current state of fashion and retail, and much, much more. Support the show

Pour créer une collection de mode, il y a trois points clés : silhouette, couleur, matière, pour les vêtements, comme les accessoires. Mais ces ingrédients sont vains sans le discours qui les transmute en objets de désir. Des histoires incroyables sortent alors au grand jour. Morceaux choisis récoltés pendant la Fashion Week : Marine Serre se veut DavidLynchienne, Lilia Litkovska continue de travailler sous les bombes. Yohji Yamamoto, indubitablement, remporte la Palme d'Or.

To create a fashion collection, you need three key elements: silhouette, colour, material – be it for clothes or accessories. Yet these ingredients are lifeless without the discourse and the incredible stories that transform them into objects of desire. Stories told with sincerity, from Marine Serre's Lynchian ambitions to Lilia Litkovska's resolve to work while the bombs are falling; Fashion Week's top prize goes to Yohji Yamamoto for his flights of fancy.

From Jan 2024. Dive into the provocative world of artistic "theft" as Ty and Nathan explore how creative innovation truly emerges from our influences. This conversation challenges the myth of pure originality, arguing instead that the greatest artists throughout history have been masterful collectors and transformers of ideas.Beginning with Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto's transformative quote—"Start copying what you love... at the end of the copy you will find yourself"—the duo examines how creative development flourishes through strategic borrowing. From Quentin Tarantino's open acknowledgment of film references to David Bowie's musical influences, the most distinctive voices often emerge from those who've absorbed the most diverse inspirations.They unpack wisdom from creative legends including Jim Jarmusch, Paul Schrader, and Jean-Luc Godard, who all emphasize that true originality lies not in where you take ideas from, but where you take them to. Art movements throughout history—from Impressionism to Abstract Expressionism—evolved through artists stealing ideas from each other while working side by side, proving that innovation rarely emerges in isolation.What distinguishes mere imitation from transformative theft? When does copying become finding your voice? The conversation offers practical advice for artists at every stage: diversify your influences, document what moves you and why, maintain an "omnivorous" approach to inspiration, and create systems to capture ideas when they strike. Ultimately, the episode makes a compelling case that the most authentic artistic expression comes not from avoiding influence, but from embracing it wholeheartedly.Follow us on Instagram @ty_nathan_clark and @nathanturborg to continue exploring how creative influences shape artistic development.Send us a message - we would love to hear from you!Make sure to follow us on Instagram here:@justmakeartpodcast @tynathanclark @nathanterborg

Prendre position, proposer une mode non genrée, réclamer l'inclusion et pas l'exclusion : ce sont les messages forts exprimés par les designers Jeanne Friot, Walter Van Beirendonck et Louis Gabriel Nouchi. Les maisons japonaises Issey Miyake et Yohji Yamamoto prônent un vestiaire simple, confortable, gorgé de poésie. Et tous, de travailler avec des matières extraordinaires.

Designers Jeanne Friot, Walter Van Beirendonck and Louis Gabriel Nouchi have taken a stand to defend gender-neutral fashion, calling for inclusion rather than exclusion. Meanwhile, Japanese labels Issey Miyake and Yohji Yamamoto propose a simple, comfortable wardrobe, underpinned with poetry. All of these designers have opted for extraordinary fabrics to create their latest collections. FRANCE 24 takes a closer look.

Architekci mody, mistrzowie awangardy, czarne kruki – japońscy projektanci, którzy w Paryżu przełomu lat 70. i 80. XX wieku dokonali prawdziwej rewolucji, na głowie stawiając dotychczasowy system i konwenanse. Ich wizja odzieży wstrząsnęła Francją. Krytycy początkowo nazywali ją „Post-Hiroshima” albo po prostu „zaniedbaną”. Czym się wyróżniali Kenzo Takada, Issey Miyake, Yohji Yamamoto i Rei Kawakubo? Jak zachodni system przyjął ich nowoczesną wizję? I który z nich wjechał na swój pokaz na słoniu?Podcastu „Kroniki paryskie” możesz posłuchać na platformach Spotify, Apple Podcasts oraz YouTube.

Luxury fashion is big business. To stay relevant, big luxury houses and independent labels alike know to constantly refresh their communication strategies. Celebrity endorsement still holds enormous sway, but the clothes themselves need to tell a story. Today, that story is increasingly one of liberté, égalité and fraternité! For proof, look no further than the latest collections from Louis Vuitton Homme, Jeanne Friot, Imane Ayissi and Yohji Yamamoto.

La mode et, notamment le secteur du luxe, représente un immense business. Pour qu'il perdure, les groupes de luxe, comme les maisons indépendantes, doivent constamment adopter de nouvelles stratégies. L'effet "Waouh" généré par les célébrités est loin de se tarir, mais aujourd'hui tout produit doit s'insérer dans un univers et porter un message. Priorité à la liberté, l'égalité, la fraternité. Décryptage, avec Louis Vuitton Homme, Jeanne Friot, Imane Ayissi et Yohji Yamamoto.

At more than 80 years old, Yohji Yamamoto still enjoys reassembling fabric like a child. At Issey Miyake, Satoshi Kondo offers a collection inspired by traditional Japanese papermaking. The Franco-Japanese designer Tatiana Quard creates silhouettes with intersecting tubes and lines. This as the Togo International Fashion Festival hosts its second-ever foreign edition. In the 1980s, Paris welcomed a new generation of Japanese designers, propelling Japanese fashion onto the global stage. Is the same thing now happening with Africa?

In conversation with Alessia of Milan based @shop_the_story on growing up with a mother dressed in Yohji Yamamoto, dancing in Margiela throughout her club era, rewarding herself with Miu Miu shoes during Uni, Dries Van Noten's honourable exit from fashion, her love for Come Des Garcons,  Miuccia Prada referencing the past the right way, Luxury brands cutting off their traditional clientele, the change in attitudes towards vintage in Milan and so much more

Pierre Rougier, a distinguished fashion publicist and founder of PR Consulting, boasts a career spanning several decades. After studying political science in Bordeaux, Rougier honed his skills in Paris and London with Hermès, Yohji Yamamoto, and Maison Margiela before making his mark in New York in 1993. There, he directed communications while representing icons like Helmut Lang and Alexander McQueen. Establishing PR Consulting in1997, he catapulted emerging talents like Narciso Rodriguez and Nicolas Ghesquiere, then at Balenciaga, to prominence, also fostering brands like Proenza Schouler and Hood By Air. Renowned for discovering and championing young designers, Rougier continues to hold the opinion that a strong vision and sometimes counter-trending codes are often the precursors to a designer's success. Episode Highlights: Rougier grew up far from the front of culture, and though his interests in fashion were indirect at first until he moved to Bordeaux—a larger city—to study.  He started his work in fashion boxing Hermes products before moving to London, still employed at Hermes, learning English and partaking in '80s gay club culture there. Yohji Yamamoto employed Rougier to work a PR position, giving him his first taste of serious work and long hours associated with the industry. Using his London connections, he opened his own PR firm as the Antwerp Six were coming into the spotlight, and worked under Martin Margiela for four years, until he felt that his aesthetic and vision were too overwhelmingly connected to that one house. Moving to New York, Rougier worked as communications director for a company that held brands like Vivienne Westwood, Helmut Lang, and Michael Kors. Rougier speaks on learning that the antithesis of what's trending is always on the precipice of an arrival. He says the conversations in fashion are less now about what designers like and more about what designers find that works, and is successful.  Before the internet, there were few photos of shows and most people waited to see items in stores to determine the zeitgeist; now, Rougier says, the urgency of marketing makes everything “extremely transactional.”  He says it's fair to say that in fashion, elitism has trended out with a shift to exclusive community identities.

What exactly goes on in designers' heads? Wim Wenders claims that Yohji Yamamoto has the power to heal people without the need for a therapist's chair. Meanwhile Jeanne Friot delves into her own lesbian love story. Stéphane Rolland invites students from two Paris fashions schools on stage, as his collection questions the relationship between East and West. And Julien Fournié embraces the Hitchcock heroine aesthetic to bring down the patriarchy. 

What you'll learn in this episode: How Saudia is preserving her mom Cara Croninger's legacy Why Cara Croninger's resin and plastic jewelry was—and still is—groundbreaking How Cara Croninger refined her jewelry making process, and why she didn't want her pieces to be perfect What it was like to grow up in an artistic family in the heyday of New York's art jewelry scene How Saudia's mom and dad influenced her music career today   About Saudia Young Saudia Young is a New York City-born actress/singer and storyteller in theater and film. Born on the Lower East Side and brought up between Tribeca and LA, Young explores the notion of home, love, justice, and identity through her art.   The recently repatriated artist lived in Berlin, Germany, for a long chapter of performing, writing, and producing. The Ameripolitan Awards 2023 Female Rockabilly Singer nominee released her 7" single ‘Noir Rockabilly Blues,' produced by Lars Vegas-DE and featuring 'The Wobble' on the A and Iggy Pop's 'Lust for Life' on the B side, in 2017, followed up by her 12” debut ‘Unlovable' in 2018.

To musician and actress Saudia Young, she was just mom. Today, Saudia is working to preserve her mother's legacy and secure her place in art jewelry history. She joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about how Cara made her pioneering resin jewelry; how Cara's work evolved with the times; and why Saudia thinks of her mom every time she performs. Read the episode transcript here. Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is the second part of a two-part episode. If you haven't heard part one, please head to TheJewelryJourney.com.   Today, we're speaking to my guest, Saudia Young, who is located in Philadelphia. She has an interesting background. Her mother was a very well-known jeweler, and her father was an actor. She was born in New York and grew up between New York and Los Angeles. Welcome back.   Were you aware she was doing this? Were you aware that she went to different galleries, that she didn't have a sales rep when you were growing up? Were you aware of this?   Saudia: Yeah, of course. There was one point in the 90s where she had a showroom. Tony Goldman and Janet Goldman had a showroom called Fragments, and she was in the showroom for some years. She had different reps throughout her life. Ten Thousand Things was a store. They still exist, and they have incredibly beautiful work. For a while in the Meatpacking District, they had a nice cadre of artists, and my mom was one of the artists. They also did wholesale for her. So, they represented her work to other people.   Sharon: I have a few pieces, just a smattering, but do you have a lot of her work? Do you have an archive of her work?   Saudia: Oh, yeah. That's part of what I've been dealing with. My sister and I have our own personal collections. Throughout the years, my mom collected the best pieces of each group and gave us our personal collections. Then I have basically all the work she left behind when she passed away. I've been trying to organize that. There was a big section of it shown at the Aspen Art Museum two years ago for about a year. Jonathan Burger had a show called The Store. My mom's jewelry and sculptures were in one show. That was really exciting, to have both together. Actually, 14 small sculptures sold during that show and, fingers crossed, about seven pieces will be donated to an institution. I'm not going to say which one. That takes a long time.   Right now, there are pieces that are actively being sold. Lisa Berman—not a family member, just the same last name—from Sculpture to Wear sold some of my mom's work at her first gallery. She also helped sell some pieces when I came out and was trying to figure out what to do and how to secure the legacy, meaning literally a storage space to hold everything. It's a big responsibility.   Sharon: You're referring to Lisa Berman.   Saudia: Yeah, who is not your blood relation but of the same name. Obviously, she introduced us and was part of the first interview. She's consulted with me. She's another one of the angels. There's a whole host of people who are still in awe of my mom's work and in support and cheerleading. It includes Robert Lee Morris.   I'm still trying to figure out what to do with the work to secure the legacy. It is being sold at Studio Hop in Providence, Rhode Island. That's introducing the work to some people who have not seen it before. It's introducing it to a new audience, which is really nice. Jussara Lee, who used to sell it in Manhattan and is now in Connecticut, has been selling it. Other than that, I have an Artwork Archive website for her so people can see the work. I'm not selling it from that website, but there is a section of it that's still being sold. Then there's a section I'm holding in case I can get it accepted into an institution.   Sharon: I remember a few years ago, I fell in love with a bracelet and I didn't end up getting it. I think it was the first time I ever heard of her, and I thought it was so neat.   Saudia: Yeah, it sold a lot of work. They stopped selling after she passed away. They also had a hard time. Everybody is just recovering now from Covid. A lot of people had a very hard time in the past few years. Some stores closed and sales went down. There were several stores who were carrying her work who have closed since Covid.   Sharon: What did you do to make it through Covid and to have money come in?   Saudia: I cried. I don't know. I did whatever I could. I was going back and forth between Germany and here. There was a grant in Germany—actually, it wasn't a grant; it was a loan—but there was a Covid loan they were giving to artists in Germany. Here, I went on unemployment for a while and then I went off it, whatever I could. We all did what we could to survive.   Sharon: That's very true. I know there were different things we had to do. I agree with you that people are just coming out of it now.   Saudia: And now we have two wars, so it's like, “Great, thank you.” Can't catch a break.   Sharon: Which is worse? I don't know. I guess if you're in the field over there, it's worse.   Saudia: Yeah.   Sharon: A lot worse. How does it feel to have a mother who's mentioned by people you don't know? You say you're the daughter and all of a sudden, they say, “Oh, I love your mom,” or “I love her jewelry.”   Saudia: What do you mean? How does it feel?   Sharon: Yeah. If I said, “Oh, I have a really neat bracelet,” and the person says, “I've not heard of that person,” how does it feel?   Saudia: First of all, a young man—he's probably my age. It's so funny I still think of myself as a teenager. Timothy Reukauf is a stylist. He's another angel who introduced me to the manager and owner of Screaming Mimis Vintage clothing and jewelry store in New York. When I brought the work, because they brought the work to a vintage show, and they're showing the work and trying to sell it, she was so enthusiastic and happy and excited. It was nice because it's an extension of my mom, and I miss my mom. I feel like it's that, as opposed to anything ego-based. It's more emotional—now you're going to get me emotional. But it's nice to know because I really miss her, and when I hear people loving her work, it's heartening. It's heart filling.   Sharon: That's a good word, heart-filling. I've heard different things. It's Croninger with a hard g. I've heard that as Croninger with a soft g. Which one is it?   Saudia: Oh lord, that's a good one. It's Cara Croninger with a hard g, but people have called her Croninger with a soft g. People have called her Cara. She's even called herself Cara, but it's Cara Lee. Her Michigan name was Cara Lee Croninger, but it depends on who you are. Are you Dutch? Are you German? Are you from New Jersey?   Sharon: Did she support your career as an artist?   Saudia: Do you mean my dreaming? Yeah, she supported me being a dreaming, silly person, definitely. She put me in dance school. She always thought I should be a painter, actually. She'd say, “You should be a painter,” because I had a natural ability to draw and to work with my hands. After being a child laborer with her, I could make things. But all jokes aside, she was very supportive of me being an artist or whatever it was that I wanted to be, political activist or artist. My sister was an architect. She was very supportive of that. She was beloved by a lot of the young artists who were around Dumbo, our friends, our extended family. She was a positive influence, a positive auntie, elder, second mom, to a lot of people.   Sharon: It sounds like it.   Saudia: Yeah. I shared her as a mom figure with a lot of people.   Sharon: Tell us more about your singing. Do you think of her when you sing?   Saudia: Yeah, I think of her with whatever I do, for sure. There's one song—I think you wrote it down on the question list—It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got that Swing), doo wop, doo wop, doo wop, doo wop. I think it was Louis Armstrong. She was working on some kind of saying or branding because she was really into the earrings having a nice swing. She coined it when I was helping her make them. The holes had to be big enough so the lyre could be comfortable enough so the earrings could swing. She incorporated that into some of her branding.   But yeah, I listened to a lot of music growing up. She was very into Judy Collins and Kurt Weill, a wild range. She dated one of the Clancy Brothers—they were very into folk music in the 60s—and my dad and her were into soul and Otis Redding and Taj Mahal and Bonnie Raitt. I'm wandering, but yes.   Sharon: What years was she most popular? It seems like she had a real high.   Saudia: I think the 80s. The minute she started doing the resin stuff, she went into Sculpture to Wear, which was a very prestigious gallery. I'd say the early 70s through the 80s. Then Artwear closed and she was on her own. She did really well in the 90s as well. She was pretty prolific, but I think the 80s were the time when there were tons and tons of fashion articles and fashion shoots with all the supermodels of that time.   Sharon: Talk about wandering, because I'm looking at my list of questions. Tell us how you were involved in making her jewelry. You told us a little bit, but did you ever cut the hearts?   Saudia: The hearts were made in molds. She created molds and poured, and then we would open the rubber molds. I would help sand. I would help drill holes. I can drill a hole. I would help with polishing. Like I said, I would help with finishing work and stringing cords on the hearts. Trying to influence her businesswise, she was not having it.   Sharon: Would she say, “That color doesn't look better in the green. It looks better in the purple,” or something that?   Saudia: No, not really because once something is poured, it's a done deal. That would be like, after you've made 500 brownies, saying, “I wish we had blueberry muffins.” It's too late now.   Sharon: She could say, “Well, you can have it then, and I'll try and sell the purple one,” or something.   Saudia: No, the work was too labor-intensive. Once things were made, you really needed to get them out there. They were like donuts in a way. You need to get them out so they don't go stale. Keep the energy, keep them moving. The only thing she was conflicted about was pricing. There was a point in jewelry where everything—remember when the Y necklaces came out? Everything was really tiny. There was a point where it was trendy to have really tiny jewelry, and that freaked her out because her work was so big and sculptural. She would get freaked out about that kind of stuff. The editors loved her work because it was big and you could see it. It went incredibly with beautiful clothes like Issey Miyake and these avant garde designers. The tiny stuff, you can't see it in an editorial. It's so funny; you'll have a cover article and it'll be like, “Earrings by whomever,” and I'm like, “Where are they? What earrings?”   Sharon: That's interesting. Miyake or Yohji Yamamoto, they're high-end, but they've become very—they're not that valued anymore.   Saudia: Now they're mainstream, yeah.   Sharon: Do you think your mother's jewelry would be considered avant garde today?   Saudia: Yeah, it still is in a way because of the designs and the fact that it was really handmade. She was making her own work. Maybe Lisa would call that studio jewelry. She was in her studio making it herself. She did have a short relationship with a company in Japan where they were making work that would only be sold there. It was fine, but you could really see the difference and feel the difference. It wasn't Cara. It wasn't special, unfortunately. We're grateful that they did it, that she had that relationship and that we could go to Japan and travel there. That was awesome.   So, I think she was avant garde as an artist. I don't agree that Yohji is no longer avant garde. His designs are so beautiful. He's really focused on craftsmanship, having amazing makers creating his work. In a way that is avant garde, as opposed to crap being made. You know what I mean?   Sharon: You're right, 100%.   Saudia: In a factory.   Sharon: I can't think of another one, but there are a lot of designers whose work you can't afford—I'm talking about clothing—who have developed their own less expensive lines.   Saudia: Yeah. I remember when they would call it the junior line, and it would be for the younger kids. It would be lighter and cheaper and faster and funnier and all that. Now there are lots of layers of that, but you have these throwaway clothes being made by companies like H&M and so forth.   Sharon: Do you think she would fit in, like she'd make a smaller version of something that she made large?   Saudia: She did do some smaller things when she was working with the Japanese company. That led her into making some tiny silver hearts and medium-size silver. Then she had to do her big pieces. She could not let go of her love affair with big, sculptural pieces. I think she was conflicted about the McDonaldizing of fashion and accessories. Of course, she wanted to put food on the table, but she was really conscious of the environment. Even though she was working in plastics, she was very conscious of workers and workers' rights. Where does something come from? How is it made, and what's the impact of it being made?   Sharon: It sounds like she carried that through the 80s, into the 90s, into today.   Saudia: Definitely. She definitely had something to do with me being political, her and my father. She was very righteous.   Sharon: I know you do cabaret and rockabilly. What else do you do? What do you sing?   Saudia: My main focus is mental health. It's a really hard time right now, I feel, but I think it's actually a good time to continue to do the rockabilly, but to circle back to the dark cabaret I was doing before the rockabilly. So, I'm working on that. I'm working with a few musicians here in Philly, and I have some shows with musicians in other parts of the country. For Thanksgiving, I'm going to be in Illinois with Patrick Jones and 3 On The Tree. It's a band. We're going to do a rockabilly Thanksgiving tour. Then in March, I'll be in California, in Orange County.   Sharon: Doing what?   Saudia: Doing rockabilly with The Hi-Jivers and Abby Girl. In Orange County, we're going to do just a rockabilly R&B show. Then in April, I'll be with Viva Las Vegas again, which is a rockabilly weekend. I'll do an R&B show and rockabilly. In between, I'm just trying to stay sane, make a living, take care of my mom's work, tell her story. I'm supposedly writing a story about my mom and my dad, sort of a solo show. I don't know if it's a solo show or a documentary, but it's about their relationship as an interracial couple in the 60s and an interracial artist couple.   Sharon: That'll be very interesting   Saudia: They were both known as being difficult people, but most artists are in a way. It takes a lot of energy to do that work, so you can ruffle a lot of feathers. So, that's what I'm doing.   Sharon: I hope I'll get to meet you then. Thank you so much. This was very interesting.   Saudia: Thank you so much. Sharon: Thank you. Well will have photos posted on the website.

She would always think about, “What am I going to pour?” It might be a ruby red, which was really popular and beautiful. One of the most popular pours, I think I said in the last interview, was the black and white, where she would have black and white and it would come out in a striped formation. Then she would pour into her different molds, the bangles, the C cuffs, the earrings.   Just as important as the colors were the processes. For the slice earrings, she would pour the layers so it would be striped into a block like a loaf of bread, a small, little, long brownie. Then she would slice it on a bandsaw and you would get to see the stripes. Part of her process was the actual cutting, carving, sanding to get the shapes, and then making the decision whether she was going to have them polished or matte without polish.   Sharon: A mask?   Saudia: Matte, sorry. What the finish would be. If she had faceted bangles or hearts or whatever, she was very aware of not making anything perfect. She used the fact that it had scratches to show the layers of work and to show that it's made by a human. It wasn't something that needed to be absolutely perfect. She was very into wabi sabi, the Japanese art of the imperfect. She loved wavy shapes and asymmetry in her designs.   Sharon: Who did the selling for the first years, when you were getting it off the ground?   Saudia: I was a kid, so I wasn't going to get it off the ground. I was just eating the food she was putting in the refrigerator. When she first started with the leatherwork, she was just going around to different boutiques in the Village or whatever and selling them, either having them buy it straight out or on consignment. I think one of the worker's galleries was the original Sculpture to Wear. That was near where MAD Museum is right now. I'm forgetting the name of the hotel. That was one of her galleries. I'm sure there were other stores I don't know about.   That was in 1971 or something like that. That was very close to when she started working in plastic. She got taken in and accepted really quickly. At that time, Robert Lee Morris was also selling at Sculpture to Wear. He was a wunderkind. He was opening up his own gallery, Artwear, and brought my mother into that gallery. During that time, that also gave the artists recognition and amplified their voices. They were able to have their work in stores in Boston and in California because of being in Artwear.   Sharon: We will have photos posted on the website.

On this episode we are back with Philippe to discuss this past men's season shows at Pitti Uomo, Milan, and Paris. We talk about the contrast between Luca Magliano and S.S. Daley, Gucci, Prada, and Zegna (best of season in Milan), why Rick Owens was the show of the season and Yohji Yamamoto was a letdown, the continued elegance of Dries Van Noten, and Rei Kawakubo's uncharacteristic feeling of lightness, Hermès' uncompromising quality, why the Japanese newcomers TAAKK and MASU (not covered by Vogue Runway, but covered by us) made Paris exciting, and which small brands we loved and why we are going to lean into supporting smaller brands this year. We wonder out loud, how bad can Louis Vuitton and Dior get? We cheat a little in the end by discussing Galliano's Maison Margiela Artisanal show, because how could we not?!Support the show

Ever wondered how a brush stroke influenced by the past can paint a future of unique artistic expression? This episode serves as your canvas, guiding you through the complexities of imitation and innovation in the art world. We start by unraveling the controversy of copying in art—a topic that often stirs heated debate among creators. Fashion mogul Yohji Yamamoto's provocative stance on imitation anchors our discussion, as we dissect the transformative journey from imitating the greats to developing one's own creative language. Whether you're a fledgling painter or a seasoned sculptor, this dialogue promises an enlightening exploration of artistic growth and the quest for originality.Imagine finding your artistic soulmate in the brushstrokes of Jean-Michel Basquiat, or in the cinematic genius of Woody Allen and Jim Jarmusch. This episode shares the tale of an art student who did just that, finding inspiration and a deep sense of purpose in the raw energy of Neo-expressionism and the underrepresented voices in art. But it's not just about who inspires us—it's about how we take that spark and fan it into a flame of our own. We delve into the stories of artists and mentors who have navigated these waters, sharing their wisdom on the importance of diverse influences and the beauty of artistic collaboration. Join us as we celebrate the gift of mentorship and the infinite possibilities that arise from truly listening and learning from one another.As we draw this episode to a close, we turn our attention to the sensory feast that is creative exploration. We emphasize the importance of engaging every sense to tap into the wellspring of creativity that surrounds us in the most ordinary moments. From the unexpected artistry of road salt patterns to the profound simplicity of a pen gliding across paper, we discuss how to cultivate an environment rich with stimuli that can propel your artistic endeavors forward. We sign off with a collection of thought-provoking quotes from a mosaic of artistic visionaries, beckoning you to seize your tools of creation and add to the ever-evolving tapestry of expression.

Japanese stylists have been making their mark on the Paris fashion scene since the 1980s, and continue to prove their mastery of the art of merging form and movement. Yohji Yamamoto, Yusuke Takahashi for CFCL, Maiko Kurogouchi and Satoshi Kondo for Issey Miyake – all these designers have a knack for taking the pulse of the planet, and, in turn, proposing new ways of dressing. We went to meet them in this edition of Fashion.

The influence of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy has never been more deeply felt. From the work of designers such as Khaite, The Row, and Yohji Yamamoto, to the mood boards of many a bride to be, her distinct look continues to inspire. Journalist and author Sunita Kumar Nair discusses her seminal new book CBK: A Life In Fashion (Abrams). Together we explore this rare beauty, gone too soon, but impossible to forget.

London-born photographer and SHOWstudio founder Nick Knight has remained at the forefront of what's contemporary since his emergence into the fashion photography scene in the 1970s. Over the course of an illustrious career, Knight has worked closely with the likes of Alexander McQueen, Lady Gaga, Bjork and John Galliano, as well as with fashion houses such as Christian Dior, Tom Ford, Louis Vuitton, and Yves Saint Laurent, among many others. Bringing an outsider's insight into the fashion and art worlds, he began pushing boundaries in the '80s in collaborations with i-D magazine and revolutionary designer Yohji Yamamoto. He has directed the trailblazing fashion film platform SHOWstudio for over two decades, pioneering new modes of artistic expression and audience connection. In a thoughtful conversation with Christopher Michael, Knight reflects on how he maintains a sense of artistic integrity and urgency—with or without the validation of commercial success. His hunger to continue to learn has driven not only a varied career spanning music, art, and fashion through the lens of the camera, but also kept him at the forefront of technological innovation, whether with SHOWstudio or a riveting perspective on AI—comparing it to the birth of photography and the internet—and how we will evolve.

Carolyn Bessette Kennedy was the beautiful fashion PR who married the most eligible bachelor in America, John Kennedy Jr. The couple, and Carolyn's sister Lauren, tragically lost their lives when a plane flown by Kennedy crashed into the ocean in 1999.But Bessette Kennedy had an outsize influence on style and fashion in the 1990s that endures today, and her legacy has been celebrated in a new book, CBK: Carolyn Bessette Kennedy: A Life in Fashion, by the British author and fashion creative director Sunita Kumar Nair, with a foreword by Gabriela Hearst, and preface by Edward Enninful, OBE.On Episode 5 of Season 4 of Rodeo Drive - The Podcast, Kumar Nair talks with Lyn Winter about her carefully curated and sumptuously illustrated book, which tracks Bessette Kennedy's fairytale rise, starting with a job at a Calvin Klein store in a mall where she was, ”plucked by a corporate executive at Calvin Klein, and offered the golden ticket – come to New York.”From there the willowy blonde with a knack for an ultra-chic and minimal “thrown together look,” became a fashion muse herself, in an era when American fashion traded padded shoulders and power suits for the understated elegance and comfort of Klein, Donna Karan and Ralph Lauren.Kumar Nair shares anecdotes about the celebrities – Kate Moss, Jennifer Aniston, Sharon Stone – and the great names in fashion and design who worked with Bessette Kennedy, and were inspired by her. She says the photographer Mario Sorrenti “remembers a time when they were sitting on the floor, talking about what the goals were for the advertising,” and corporate would want to know, “what does Carolyn think?”She also talks about Bessette Kennedy's powerful sense of self, wearing what pleased her despite societal expectations. When she married into American royalty, she might have taken to “wearing perhaps Dior or Yves Saint Laurent,” as well as the jewelry she inherited from her late mother-in-law Jackie Kennedy, also a fashion icon. “But instead she chose to wear Yohji Yamamoto and Ann Demeulemeester, and I think the only piece of jewelry (of Jackie Kennedy's) that she would wear often was Jackie's Cartier Tank.”Finally, Kumar Nair explains how Bessette Kennedy's allure endures today, in part because of how she approached life and clothes, with discretion and simplicity. “I think there is just this demand for her because there's a dignity in the way that she lived and I think it's inspiring for people who didn't grow up with her to pick up a book and discover her and her world.”Season 4 of Rodeo Drive – The Podcast is presented by the Rodeo Drive Committee with the support of The Hayman Family, Two Rodeo Drive, Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel, and the Beverly Hills Conference & Visitors Bureau.Season 4 Credits:Executive Producer and Host: Lyn WinterOn behalf of the Rodeo Drive Committee: Kathy GohariScriptwriter and Editorial Advisor: Frances AndertonEditor and Videographer: Hans FjellestadTheme music by Brian BanksProduction Assistant: Isabelle AlfonsoListen, subscribe, rate and review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.Visit the website: https://rodeodrive-bh.com/podcast/Join us on Instagram @rodeodrive Hosted on Acast.

It was the fashion event of the season, if not the decade! Fashion journalists, buyers, celebrities and influencers from around the world descended on the French capital to see Paris's oldest bridge, le Pont Neuf, decked out in resplendent gold. The occasion was Pharrell Williams's first ever collection as head of menswear at Louis Vuitton. Another big celebrity draw elsewhere in Paris was the indefatigable Yohji Yamamoto, who's just a few months away from his 80th birthday. FRANCE 24 got a glimpse of the action.

Le couturier franco-libanais âgé de bientôt 50 ans qui jouera cette année les jurés au festival Design Parade, à Hyères, nous reçoit chez lui. Un espace « simple et fonctionnel » qui lui ressemble.Rabih Kayrouz, âgé de bientôt 50 ans, évoque son enfance dans un petit village au nord de Beyrouth auprès de parents qui avaient le goût du vêtement et de la convivialité, les odeurs de la boulangerie de son père, les défilés découverts au journal télévisé, son arrivée à 16 ans à Paris, son admiration pour le travail d'Yves Saint Laurent, de Yohji Yamamoto ou de Jean Paul Gaultier, sa redécouverte de Beyrouth dans les années 1990 où il lance sa maison, son exploration du prêt-à-porter, son amour du Bauhaus, sa fascination pour les aventurières qui cassaient les codes et plus généralement pour les femmes qui restent sa première source d'inspiration, sa passion pour la peinture classique de la Renaissance et sa recherche de la lumière et le douloureux après de l'explosion du port de Beyrouth.Il revient aussi longuement sur l'affirmation de son style : « J'étais tout jeune, j'étais très intimidé par les clientes. Pour les séduire, au lieu de dessiner, je montrais le vêtement. Donc je drapais le tissu directement. J'avais un geste premier et ce geste a fait mon style. Cette simplicité et cette spontanéité que j'avais sont restées. »Depuis quatre saisons, la journaliste et productrice Géraldine Sarratia interroge la construction et les méandres du goût d'une personnalité. Qu'ils ou elles soient créateurs, artistes, cuisiniers ou intellectuels, tous convoquent leurs souvenirs d'enfance, tous évoquent la dimension sociale et culturelle de la construction d'un corpus de goûts, d'un ensemble de valeurs.Un podcast produit et présenté par Géraldine Sarratia (Genre idéal) préparé avec l'aide de Diane Lisarelli et Imène BenlachtarRéalisation : Emmanuel BauxMusique : Gotan Project Hébergé par Acast.

All fashion designers have one thing in common: whatever the challenges, however much the odds appear stacked against them, they find a way to keep working. Yohji Yamamoto, having recently lost two close family members, uses his anger as the force behind a period of contemplation. Meanwhile, Ukrainian designers Svitlana Bevza and Lilia Litkovska ensure they find ways to express themselves through clothes, despite living in a country at war.

If there was one word to describe the latest round of ready-to-wear offerings for summer 2023, it would be freedom, a desire to liberate bodies – and minds – from all forms of restraint. Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto rejects any fashion that treats women like dolls rather than people, while his compatriot Hidenori Kumakiri reimagines military uniforms and French designer Mossi Traoré finds inspiration in binmen's uniforms. Meanwhile, French stalwart Isabelle Marant does what she's always done, championing fashion that transcends space and time.

In a rare interview, the influential Japanese designer speaks with BoF's Imran Amed about the philosophy that underpins his boundary-breaking career. Background:  After graduating from Keio University with a law degree, Yohji Yamamoto realised he wasn't interested in the law. “I didn't want to join the ordinary society,” he says. “So I told my mother after graduation … ‘I want to help you.'”  She agreed to let him work at her dressmaking shop in Kabukicho, an entertainment district in Tokyo's Shinjuku ward, and learn from the sewing assistants if he enrolled at Bunka Fashion College, now famous for training designers such as Kenzo Takada, Junya Watanabe and Yamamoto himself. After graduating, Yamamoto went on to set up a small ready-to-wear company that slowly acquired buyers in all of Japan's major cities. This success eventually led him to Paris, where his signature tailoring and draping in oversized silhouettes created an aesthetic earthquake at Paris Fashion Week in 1981. Since then, Yamamoto has developed a cult following of loyalists who swear by his avant-garde designs. “I'm not working in the mainstream,” he says. “I'm working in the side stream.” This week on The BoF Podcast, we revisit Imran Amed's rare interview with the legendary Japanese designer about his storied career — and the mindset designers need to succeed.  Key Insights: Yamamoto says the fashion industry's increasingly fast-pace has come at the expense of true creativity. “For me the fashion business became a money business,” he said. “I felt I've been losing my competitors year by year.” Yamamoto believes that modern technology can be a distraction. “When I speak with young designers, I [tell] them shut your computer,” he said. “If you really want to see real things, real beauty, you have to go there by walking.” Yamamoto believes it's a designer's job to completely immerse themselves in design. “If you want to create something, keep resisting the mediocracy of ordinary things. It's a life's work. Are you ready to sacrifice yourself to create something?” Additional Resources:  Watch the full interview here: Inside Yohji Yamamoto's Fashion Philosophy The Magic of Yohji Yamamoto

He doesn't often speak to the media, but when he does, we listen. Since 2018, Italian designer Riccardo Tisci has been at the helm of British fashion powerhouse Burberry. The chief creative officer speaks to us exclusively about his life and his sartorial vision. Back in Paris, we take a look at the latest offerings from Yohji Yamamoto and Christelle Kocher, who both place diversity and cultural exchanges at the heart of their work.

Marie-Pierre Nicoletti grew up in a small town in the French Alps, in a bicultural French and Italian family. After graduating college with a BA in both Applied Foreign Language for International Business in English and Italian, and Italian Language and Civilization, she moved to Paris to attend fashion school. Upon graduating, she worked for the fashion house of Yohji Yamamoto as a trilingual marketing assistant and brand manager. In late 1990, she traveled to the US for a six-month sabbatical in Boulder, Colorado. Eight weeks after arriving, she met her future husband. Ten years later, now a resident of the US and a mother of a young family, she founded the Language of Food, a French culinary, cultural and language program for children and adults. Missing France, she returned to Paris, working in fashion while also researching culinary trends. Several years later, she made a permanent move back to Boulder, rebranding and growing her original program into Blossom Bilingual International Preschool, set to open its doors in May, 2022.
