What Do You Know About Yohji Yamamoto?<\/span><\/h1>\n

Yohji Yamamoto<\/a> likes it dirty. But when he began designing in the 1970s, few shared his appreciation of garments that looked worn, distressed \u2014 even dark. No matter. He had a vision, and soon enough the rest of the world had an entirely new way to dress. How well do you know this man who scorns perfection, declaring instead that \u201cdirty is good\u201d? Take our 12-question quiz about the avant-garde master tailor who isn’t afraid to get “dirty” with his fashion designs. <\/span><\/p>\n

1. Yohji Yamamoto has said that by the time he was four years old, he felt he \u201chad to protect his mother.\u201d Why?<\/h2>\n

A. His father was killed in the line of duty during World War II.
\nB. He\u2019d heard a vicious shih tzu puppy was attacking attractive young women in his neighborhood.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. What had Yamamoto accomplished by age 26?<\/h2>\n

A. Earned a law degree at Keio University
\nB. <\/span>Worked for a few years assisting in his mother\u2019s dress shop

\n<\/span>D. All of the above
\n<\/span>E. None of the above<\/span><\/p>\n

3. \u201cYamamoto is a gambling, smoking, pool table slamming, karate-chopping, whisky-drinking geezer who plays guitar in a folk rock band. And, like all geezers, he loves cars (he has a Rolls-Royce) and women,\u201d wrote Jamie Huckbody in i-D<\/em> magazine in 2002. But is he a good son?<\/h2>\n

True or False: Yamamoto broke all contact with his mother in the mid-1980s when she complained he didn\u2019t call often enough from Paris.<\/h2>\n

\n<\/span>C. Junya Watanabe<\/a>

A. True

\n<\/span>E. \u201cBlack can swallow light, or make things look sharp.\u201d
\n<\/span>F. \u201cBut above all black says this: ‘I don’t bother you \u2014 don’t bother me!\u2019 \u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

10. What did Yamamoto\u2019s assistant pull out of her tote for him as she walked down the street with him during a 2014 interview?<\/h2>\n

A. Metal ashtray
\n<\/span>B. A Cartier<\/a> ballpoint pen

11. \u201cLet\u2019s be vagabonds,\u201d Yamamoto has said. What was he talking about?<\/h2>\n

A. His attitude toward designing for men. He also said, \u201cLet\u2019s be far from our suits and ties.\u201d

12. True or False: Fashion is Yamamoto\u2019s only creative interest.<\/h2>\n

A. True
\n<\/span>B. False<\/span><\/p>\n

Answers<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. A.<\/strong> His father was killed in the line of duty during World War II. \u2014 \u201cIt’s fate,\u201d Yohji Yamamoto<\/a> told the Independent<\/em> in 2010. \u201cI was born the only son of a war widow, and my anger started from that moment. When I was three years old, four years old, I knew already that life must be very tough. I had to fight. I had to protect my mother.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. D.<\/strong> All of the above \u2014 At 26, Yamamoto was back in Tokyo after nine months in Paris, where he\u2019d failed to sell a single fashion sketch. He began to gain attention when he launched his own line with a collection made up exclusively of raincoats. He presented his first full collection in Tokyo in 1977.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. B.<\/strong> False \u2014 Fumi Yamamoto sold her shop to help her son open his business in 1972. According to a February 2011 article in the Telegraph<\/em>, \u201cshe has devoted her life to her son\u201d and for years traveled to the Paris womenswear shows twice annually to support him. She often cooked for him and his team. One favored dish was a special Japanese omelet. She received a salary until his company was restructured in 2009.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. A.<\/strong> Rei Kawakubo<\/a> \u2014 Yamamoto and Kawakubo had been dating since the 1970s. Hopefully, their union helped them weather the fashion establishment\u2019s hostility. Le Figaro<\/em> declared Yamamoto\u2019s line \u201cThe Japanese Offensive!\u201d Others characterized his dark, shapeless designs as \u201cHiroshima\u201d and \u201cholocaust chic.\u201d Just two years later, however, Carrie Donovan of the New York Times<\/em> proclaimed that the \u201cJapanese had \u2018arrived.\u2019\u201d Still, opinions remained split. \u201cEither the Japanese movement is the most exciting thing to happen to fashion in years,\u201d Donovan wrote, \u201cor it’s an outrage, a travesty of what clothes are supposed to be about.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. B.<\/strong> False \u2014 \u201cThe most important thing for both women and men, in terms of dressing, is to look sexy,\u201d Yamamoto once said. But he has his own definition of sex appeal: \u201cFor me, a woman who is absorbed in her work, who does not care about gaining one\u2019s favor, strong yet subtle at the same time, is essentially more seductive.\u201d According to the musician Jean-Michel Jarre, Yamamoto’s clothes certainly succeed at seduction. \u201cFor me, a woman in Yohji is like a nymphomaniac nun.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. E.<\/strong> All of the above \u2014 Female designers present a special mystery to him, since their work \u201ccomes out naturally from their own body,\u201d as he has put it. Nevertheless, he devoted himself to \u201cendless repetition and the study of the classics. After that one may topple the establishment.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. A.<\/strong> Dainty, ladylike dresses \u2014 \u201cI was . . . determined at all costs to avoid creating the cute, doll-like women that some men so adore,” he has said of his reaction to the years spent working in his mother\u2019s shop: \u201ca place overflowing with women whose job it was to titillate male customers.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. B.<\/strong> False \u2014 Although he does prefer textiles with a rough, durable hand, his are custom-made by a family-run manufacturer in Kyoto. The Chiso Factory opened in 1555 to make garments for monks; today, it specializes in ceremonial kimonos that can take up to a year to complete. \u201cWhen I stick with Japanese craftsmanship for weaving, for sewing, for cutting,\u201d he says, \u201cmaybe I’m touching a little bit of culture of the human being.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  9. B.<\/strong> “You can spill wine on black, and nobody will know.” \u2014 Menkes considers Yamamoto \u201cthe poet of black; the director of fashion\u2019s film noir.\u201d It\u2019s easy to understand why.<\/span><\/li>\n
  10. A.<\/strong> A metal ashtray \u2014 In addition to a smoking habit, Yamamoto has a black belt in Karate.<\/span><\/li>\n
  11. A.<\/strong> His attitude toward designing for men<\/a>. \u2014 Because Yamamoto\u2019s male customers are mainly in creative fields, \u201cthey can look a little strange and funny.\u201d Which is part of his inspiration. \u201cDesigning men\u2019s is quite limited because they have only pants, jackets and shirts, that\u2019s it,\u201d he said in an interview with the Victoria and Albert Museum<\/a>. \u201cSo we have to put some irony or joke or funny message.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  12. B<\/strong>. False \u2014 \u201cI have started to write and paint,<\/a>\u201d he said in an interview with i-D<\/em> in 2015. \u201cI am a phoenix.\u201d He also wants to make films. What kind? \u201cHalf fiction, half documentary. Or maybe porn.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
