For anyone else who swoons over strange and intricate cutting and draping of textiles, I can't recommend this exhibition too highly:

Yohji Yamamoto at the V&A

Even if you can't get to London, you can still see some pictures and videos from the exhibition online.

As a bonus, the V&A shop has copies of Tomoko Nakamichi's Pattern Magic 1 and 2, which has now been published in English. My glee is immoderate. OMG WANT MAKE WANT.

PS: I see the 2011 "More Pattern Magic" has a street price around $100 US here.
