In the new chapter of 10 Corso Como, according to Tiziana Fausti’s vision, the Gallery exhibition space continues its programming dedicated to fashion culture with a special project of Yohji Yamamoto, the designer who provoked and inspired distinctive aesthetics and imagery. Known as the poet of black, since the beginning of his career, Yamamoto’s work has been recognized for challenging the conventions of fashion. His collections have redefined the idea of beauty, subverting stereotypes in pursuit of a new geography of the body and a universal silhouette.

Organized by 10 Corso Como and Yohji Yamamoto, and under the patronage of Cnmi-Camera nazionale della moda italiana, the project curated by Alessio de′ Navasques, curator and professor of Fashion Archives at the Sapienza University of Rome, gathers a dialogue between iconic pieces from the runway, recent and future collections, in an ascending and immersive climax. From May 16 to July 31, 2024, in the spaces of the Gallery, garments will be the protagonists in a flow where every shape, cut, and geometry transmits an idea of the future and beyond time.

The exhibition itinerary examines the body of work of the designer who made poetry of structured, yet ethereal, cut and reassembled pieces, where he penetrates the space of thoughts and emotions, his unmistakable signature. A statement on the universal meaning of form through the absolute colors white, black, and red: clothes become words in the literature of the relationship between body and space. For the designer, it is not a body objectified by signs and codes of gender recognition, but it is a body that acts on the dress and transforms it: a radical fashion that enhances the interiority of the wearer.
