"Gaudy by
desire, larger-than-life by theater's intensity, and virtually to
Japanese culture what Pop style was to Anglo-American culture, Yamamoto
has consistently cultivated a fashion of fantastic images, extravagant
imagination, and sensuous approach to both tradition and a view of the
future."
–Leonard Koren, New Fashion Japan (1984)
