Yohji Yamamoto Fall 2009 Paris

09 Mar 2009 18:46:40 PDT

Written by Regina Libian (inaya404)
06 March 2009 @ 10:52 pm Whenever Yohji sees red, we see sheer perfection. Needless to say, this collection is simply magical, from beginning to end. Right off the back, we're greeted with the usual: a bunch of understated but flawless, classic Yohji looks. The fabrics for this season are fab. Whenever he works with a more delicate fabric, not only are the details fantastic, but the result of how the garments look in motion is off-the-charts gorgeous. Speaking of details, this season is no different in that he is, time and time again, one of the masters. In this collection in particular, off the bat I immediately fall in love with the raw, unhemmed edges on some of the pieces, the gathering, the overlapping panels of the jackets, surprise placeme...

Yohji Yamamoto Spring 2003

15 Dec 2008 17:40:23 PST

Written by Regina Libian (inaya404)
07 December 2008 @ 01:56 pm Yohji Yamamoto Spring 2003 One of my favorite collections, this Spring 2003 offering of his was definitely one to remember. As he often does, this collection is a bit of a culmination of past techniques (and retrospectively speaking - future ones too) but it is still pretty stand-out, in my opinion. It is really refined and incredibly directional. I always seem to fall for his very narrowly conceptual collections over the varied ones, I've noticed, although they're all delicious. First of all, I love collars... and this collection has all sorts and they're either perfectly understated or brilliantly - and in the most effortless of manners - exaggerated. The overall silhouette is a comfortable one but, much like Sp...

Yohji Yamamoto

27 Oct 2008 17:18:12 PDT

A Yohji show these days can stop you in your tracks. Not so much because he shocks you—he's not an out-with-the-old, in-with-the-new kind of guy—but because of his wistful score and the models' stately pace. You could call them old-fashioned, but they encourage the eye to relax, which isn'...
