Summary:"I play billiards almost every night in Tokyo," says [Yohji Yamamoto], by way of explanation. He and Comme des Garcons designer and companion Rei Kawakubo have taken to relaxing after work with games - card gambling, chess - and billiards. He has a snooker table in his studio. "You need another kind of excitement after the serious concentration on the job," he says. With prices that easily top $1,000 for a jacket and skirt, fashions from Yamamoto and Kawakubo are comparable to those of other top designers. But demand for their advanced fashion continues to grow; Yamamoto is scheduled to open his first New York boutique in January. 3 Star photos (Weil) Yohji Yamamoto; women's clothing designed by Yamamoto
