Kate's vision called for skirts with a significant amount of volume, and after much consideration, we decided that crepe paper was the ideal material to bring her vision to life. The dry, textured nature of crepe paper, coupled with its slight roughness, proved to be the perfect choice for achieving the desired volume and structure in the skirts. The unique qualities of the crepe paper added a touch of whimsy and creativity to the overall aesthetic, enhancing the visual impact of the display. - ![Yohji Yamamoto Gallery Image 1 (1)](https://www.minkibalinki.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/Portfolio/v-and-a/Yohji_Yamamoto/1%20(1).webp?width=1936&height=2592&name=1%20(1).webp) - ![Yohji Yamamoto Gallery Image 1 (2)](https://www.minkibalinki.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/Portfolio/v-and-a/Yohji_Yamamoto/1%20(2).webp?width=1936&height=2592&name=1%20(2).webp) - ![Yohji Yamamoto Gallery Image 1(3)](https://www.minkibalinki.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/Portfolio/v-and-a/Yohji_Yamamoto/1%20(3).webp?width=1936&height=2592&name=1%20(3).webp) - ![Yohji Yamamoto Gallery Image 1 (5)](https://www.minkibalinki.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/Portfolio/v-and-a/Yohji_Yamamoto/1%20(5).webp?width=1936&height=2592&name=1%20(5).webp) - ![Yohji Yamamoto Gallery Image 3](https://www.minkibalinki.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/Portfolio/v-and-a/Yohji_Yamamoto/3.webp?width=1936&height=2592&name=3.webp) #### Share this [Share on Twitter](https://twitter.com/share?url=https://www.minkibalinki.com/blog/v-and-a/yohji-yamamoto&text=V&A%20-%20Yohji%20Yamamoto) [Share on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://www.minkibalinki.com/blog/v-and-a/yohji-yamamoto&t=V&A%20-%20Yohji%20Yamamoto) [Share on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://www.minkibalinki.com/blog/v-and-a/yohji-yamamoto&t=V&A%20-%20Yohji%20Yamamoto) Previous story [← V&A - Retail Launch](https://www.minkibalinki.com/blog/v-and-a/retail-launch) Next story [The dos and don’ts of good window design →](https://www.minkibalinki.com/blog/the-dos-and-donts-of-good-window-design) ### You May Also Like These Related Stories [Kyle Bean](https://www.minkibalinki.com/blog/kyle-bean) ![Yohji Yamamoto](https://www.minkibalinki.com/hubfs/Images/Portfolio/v-and-a/Yohji_Yamamoto/1%20(1).webp) [Case Study](https://www.minkibalinki.com/blog/tag/case-study) #### Kyle Bean Apr 30, 2026 1 min read [V&A - Jasper Conran Christmas Tree](https://www.minkibalinki.com/blog/v-and-a/jasper-conran-christmas-tree) ![Jasper Conran Christmas Tree](https://www.minkibalinki.com/hubfs/Images/Portfolio/v-and-a/Jasper_Conran_Christmas_Tree/1.webp) [Case Study](https://www.minkibalinki.com/blog/tag/case-study) #### V&A - Jasper Conran Christmas Tree Apr 8, 2024 1 min read [V&A - Retail Launch](https://www.minkibalinki.com/blog/v-and-a/retail-launch) ![Retail Launch](https://www.minkibalinki.com/hubfs/Images/Portfolio/v-and-a/Retail_Launch/2%20(1).webp) [Case Study](https://www.minkibalinki.com/blog/tag/case-study) #### V&A - Retail Launch Apr 8, 2024 1 min read ### Get Email Notifications ### No Comments Yet Let us know what you think Email: [ntillett@minkibalinki.com](mailto:ntillett@minkibalinki.com) Tel: [+44 (0) 7703568396](tel://01980625386) Company Number: 52997670 VAT Number: 744768688 [Join us on Slack](https://vimeo.com/75155073) [Browse our GitHub projects](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wc7KjMe9j4s) Services - [Concept Design](https://www.minkibalinki.com/design) - [Visualisation](https://www.minkibalinki.com/visualisation) - [Making](https://www.minkibalinki.com/making) - [Fine Finishing](https://www.minkibalinki.com/fine-finishing) - [Glittering](https://www.minkibalinki.com/glittering) - [Spraying](https://www.minkibalinki.com/spraying) - [Gilding](https://www.minkibalinki.com/gilding) - [Polycarving](https://www.minkibalinki.com/polycarving) - [Installation](https://www.minkibalinki.com/installation) Company - [About us](https://www.minkibalinki.com/about-us) - [Portfolio](https://www.minkibalinki.com/portfolio) - [Studio Diaries](https://www.minkibalinki.com/blog) - [Contact us](https://www.minkibalinki.com/contact) Copyright © 2026 Minki Balinki.  Designed and Developed by[JDR Group](https://www.jdrgroup.co.uk/) - [Terms](https://143889839.hs-sites-eu1.com/terms-and-conditions) - [Privacy](https://143889839.hs-sites-eu1.com/privacy-policy) - [Cookies](https://143889839.hs-sites-eu1.com/cookie-policy) ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Nina Tillett", "url" : "https://www.minkibalinki.com/blog/author/nina-tillett" }, "dateModified" : "2024-07-25T15:50:39.000Z", "datePublished" : "2024-04-08T12:18:11.000Z", "headline" : "V&A - Yohji Yamamoto", "image" : [ "https://www.minkibalinki.com/hubfs/Images/Portfolio/v-and-a/Yohji_Yamamoto/1%20(1).webp" ], "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://www.minkibalinki.com/blog/v-and-a/yohji-yamamoto", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://www.minkibalinki.com/hubfs/Minki%20Balinki%20Logo_Stacked_Jun_2023.webp" } } } ```
