looks great to me. that string blazer = so cool.
Bloody hell, that blazer! . Going from the first picture to the last one was like Clark Kent -> Superman. Look definitely works.
Sup yall. Just wanted to introduce myself as I'm new to the site, but I've been a lurker for quite some time now. As you can tell from my name, one of my favorite designers is YY, and I hope to read this thread in its entirety by the end of this year, wish me luck!
I have a question about Coming Soon. Is that line (apparently defunct now from what I've read here) designed by Yamamoto or did he just put his name on it? I have a ton of CS pants b/c I love the looser feel and cut, and other than buttons falling off every now and then, the quality seems pretty good. But I know CS isn't regarded too well here amongst the cognescenti, so I wonder if I'm missing something? From the way the pants fit me, I *do* think YY has some input in the design. Am I right?
runner said:I included "yohji yamamoto" in the title because it may be convenient in search.
but this collection is officially the first one he passed on the job totally to the team.
runner said:since the 90's, the history of Y's could have been that of conflicts between creativity and marketability (in the 80's, anything sold ). Y's is the line from which YY inc expects big sale and its constancy. but yohji had been the one who thinks even with Y's they should be the company that offers what they make, not what market wants.
this is what it looks like without yohji's supervision named resistance. the greatest hits - atelier edit.
it will be shaped by what they listen to in the future, and change accordingly.
I love this longer jacket, I also found the tab closure detail at the neck very interesting as it's almost exactly the same as on my ss99 jacket (so, the previous spring season). I wonder how often design details like this were iterated from the mainline into y's (or vice versa?). Besides this detail my jacket is completely different though. I love the length here, especially in that walking shot
Touching on CS and whether Yohji had any hand in designing any of it (I haven't seen much CS in person so I can't comment on the line, unfortunately)
This is what Runner on TFS said of the last Y's collection (women's):
thought this was an interesting comment
great jacket David! ss04 is indeed incredible

thanks for the welcome. i have joined the dark side kinda... i have a few YYPH pieces which i covet, but i find myself wearing CS on a more regular basis. lets face it, the clothes arent cheap, so I try to increase the shelf life by wearing them less often. for instance, a YY tank top that costs as much as a flat screen tv? c'mon!Welcome to this thread! Hope you like what you see sofarWe are all light-minded people sharing the same passion/interest/curiosity for the dress maker Yohji Yamamoto. Ivwri really deserves a BIG pad on the back for starting this whole thing. Well it got me writing and posting pics ( I'm normally very private/reserved lol ).....
As for CS, I have absolutely no problem wearing it, I have a few Tees, pants and a blouson. The stuff is made in Italy so no problem for quality IMO. It definitely has the spirit of YY silhouette wise, whether he has any direct input is debatable ( the same can be said about the WHOLE PH & Femme collections ). I regard CS as YY Streetwear, whereas Y-3 ( which I love as well ) is YY Sportswear. CS ( & Y-3 ) can definitely be integrated into a Yohji wardrobe ( sometimes I find it pointless buying a simple YYPH/Y's Tee or pants when I can buy a CS one for a fraction of the cost ). Just see how well Parker can wear CS with YY.
Of course in the end you will probably be tempted to turn to the Dark Side and succumb to the Yohji spell haha .....
dantebykiko Is it still possible to get those vintage silk hakamas or was it a one time opportunity?
ill just echo this
