He's talking about the influential fashion designer based in Tokyo and Paris, now 73, who's known for his avant-garde tailoring featuring Japanese design aesthetics. Yamamoto's work has inspired O'Brien to create a series of stunning illustrations, distilling down the essence of the fashion designer's work to its bare and beautiful fundamentals.
