Yohji Yammoto, one of the best known Japanese across the world. His first exhibition in London at the V&A, I finally get down there to worship his creations. I can't help to say it was slightly disappointed, not about the display pieces (that is no doubt amazing.); the size of the exhibition room is so much smaller than I expected. I wanted to see tones and tones of Yamamoto's creation but end up seeing about 20-ish garments and some videos. I do believe they are one the best, just I am craving for more! Apparently, even after the Future Beauty exhibition in Barbican and this, I still hoping to see more Yamamoto's works. The cutting, the structure within the fabrics, the combination of materials are just too good to make you ask for more! Not only that, we were told that we are not allowed doing drawing in there: oh no...that's very sad! I was planning to spend like a good few hours to read every seam of the garments, it was a breaking sad news; so I turn my focus onto the shop and get myself a set of postcard. If you're wondering why I didn't buy the book of the exhibition...silly, don't you know Amazon is the best place to buy art books? With one click I can have it delivery, why the hard work carry it all the way home from South Kensington?
Following later at the night, it's the V&A Friday Late event. For those who don't know about this, please sign up newsletter from V&A. The museum host evening event the last Friday of every month, with live performance, music and often workshops so you can get involved. This is such a fun way to involve with art, so why not? This Friday (25 Mar 2011) is about theatre. Opening with Tootsie Rollers, all-singing, all-dancing retro girl band to perform their version of classics songs. I didn't stay till the end but I can tell people are very much enjoying.
