Obsessed with Yohji

I am sure you all  think i am trying to become Yamamoto's official illustrator!

I love his work A LOT and it is such a pleasure to illustrate.

Here an amazing coat from AW14, I would die to have this in my wardrobe.

Back to the basics

When in doubt, go back to basics.

I have drawn several things theses last few days but i was not happy with any of them.

Too over-worked, too pretty, too illustrative for m liking.

i just decided to get a black pen and start drawing those two silhouettes from an old Yamamoto show (SS2000), a pure classique indemodable as far as i am concerned.

Exercise de style in black and white // Yohji Yamamoto AW14

I sort of lost focus for a few days and then decided to post a series of studies based on an outfit from Yamamoto AW14. here are a few variations.
I love the incredible volume of the coat and the dramatic black silhouette.

Str(angela)nd Loves // Yohji Yamamoto

I truly LOVE Yohji Yamamoto. this collection ss14 where he reworks some of his classic pieces with HighVis colours is just great and refreshing while keeping his personal touch intact.
I have worked this one in HighVis marker-pens loose colour blocks and added the outline and details last.
