Within the exhibition which was curated by Ligaya Salazar you will see all the great masterpieces including also the best pieces of the menswear collections. Yamamoto was the first designer who combined elements of Japanese art with Parisian Haute Couture or as he put it: " You can say that designing is quite easy, the difficulty lies in finding a new way to explore beauty."
