World premiere of Yohji Yamamoto's installation depicting "beautiful women looking back" through paintings

Mar 29, 2013

Yohji Yamamoto, designer of Yohji Yamamoto, will be exhibiting a painting installation titled "Art Complex by Yohji Yamamoto A Beauty Looking Back." The installation will take place at The Stage on the first floor of the Isetan Shinjuku Main Building from April 3rd to April 9th. The exhibition will explore Yamamoto's long-standing pursuit of women's backs, a theme he has been working on for a long time, through new paintings. This will be the world's first public showing of the works. Limited-edition products will also be released at the same time. Inspired by the perfume "cologne" that Yamamoto encountered in North Africa and Eastern Europe in his twenties, the soft drink "A Beauty Looking Back Special Edition Herbal Water" (1,575 yen) was created in collaboration with FindNews Co., Ltd. Furthermore, "A Beauty Looking Back Special Edition Flower Bottle Herbal Water," housed in a hand-painted bottle created in collaboration with Joshibi University of Art and Design, will be available in six sizes (large: 12,600 yen, small: 10,290 yen).

Other products include the "Manga Collaboration Series," a collaboration with Manga Designers Lab., known for its advertising and PR using manga designs, which depicts manga with a girl motif on nostalgic Rubik's Cubes and canvas bags, as well as a postcard set (4 cards for 1,680 yen) and handkerchiefs (3,150 yen) printed with works that were first unveiled at the Yohji Yamamoto Aoyama store in June.
