AUTUMN-WINTER 1995
The theme was 鹿鳴館 (Rokumeikan; Meiji-era Western-style building in downtown Tokyo, constructed in 1883 for entertaining foreign diplomats and dignitaries). From wiki: "In the ballroom, Japanese gentlemen in evening dress imported from tailors in London danced the waltz, polka, quadrille, and mazurka with Japanese ladies dressed in the latest Parisian fashions". At the same time, Yohji also seemed to contrast this cultural blend against an american backdrop from the same time, ended up with some urban cowbow amalgamation where cowboy hats were juxtaposed with japanese prints from this era while at the same time doing his take on european formal wear I guess. Basically a suits collection, many takes on informal and formal suits. From what I've seen, a ******* great collection.

SPRING-SUMMER 1996

"Flowers and boys". He used several 12, 13 year old models for this show. The cuts were very wide, looking at the pics it almost feels like a teenage boy wearing his father's clothes and making them his own in a way. Didn't he have a section in "My dear bomb" alluding to his? The concept I mean, not this particular collection. He did a lot of clever cutout patterns on jackets, coats, gabardine shirts as well as shoes. The other big theme was flowers, lots of flower prints on shirts, shoes and jackets. The stage was lined with flowers like sunflowers and tulips

AUTUMN-WINTER 1996


For this collection he did a lot of layering with bulky knits, complicated inserts, object dyed suits (similar to y's for men aw03), huge velvet coats, corduroy suits, etc. A lot of good stuff in here, imo.

Might be a good idea to make a thread exclusively for interviews and articles (scanned and others) and keep the book thread for posts and discussions about books or entire magazine issues.

I mean, you can never have enough threads.

 

[the shah]

i don't mind posting them here or soon elsewhere, the less subscriptions the better. i can't trudge through the landfill to find the few worthwhile threads that exist

where are the pre-runway damir images , this is the place for them ! unless your'e referring to scantily clad men and their open bathrobes in which case don't link them

trudge through the landfill to find the few worthwhile threads that exist

hence the necessity to fill the page 1 with more interesting threads that will push the landfill to the bottomless pit of oblivion beyond page 2

2nd pic is glorious. I remember seen it a while (in Iwvri´s tumblr I think) and thinking how amazing it looked. Perfect "End of the World" coats.

CRUVOIR may stock the coat if you are interested

Disappointed with Paris thus far. Hoping Raf is decent or today is going to be a total loss

When's the last time that happened :-/

His whole mainline collection this fall is making it to pretty steep discounts everywhere, I don't know how much revenue that's bringing compared to Dior but I'm really hoping it's a wakeup call

 

[Urthwhyte]

For me? Around 2004 or 2005. The trend has to reverse itself eventually, right?
