Yohji, Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love The Looser Fit (Yohji Yamamoto Thread)

[valter]

I suggest that you check out the S/S2006 collection for inspiration!

@ xumatrix I agree with what everyone said about the suspenders/braces. Would work a lot better if they were functional rather than just aesthetic. And while I agree with what kiko is saying about needing a bit more grizzle or age to pull off the pattern on the suspenders, it could be possible for you to do if you just went all out with your outfit. Huge suspender pants and a nice rumpled Yohji jacket so that the pattern peeks out at people rather than being full on in their face like that. Heh.

1234, the stripe pants tend to look harder to pull off than they actually are in person. Just throw on a nice shirt and a jacket in darker colours (navy or just black) and you should be good to go. Nice and easy summer pants.

Yohji Yamamoto Fall 2004





I can't wait for a video of this show to turn up online somewhere. Being able to watch the coats been put on or taken off revealing the awesome dresses below or seeing all that glorious pattern matching going on in the first part of the show in motion would be great. Also love how he brought in floral print for Fall and managed to make it all seem appropriate by his use of fabric and the vibrant but restrained colour palette.

That last picture of the orange dress is gorgeous. (Or the dress is, or both. Yeah.)

Anyway to pull these off without looking like a sous chef or escaped convict?

the ears on the last model with the orange dress are fantastic! some really cool looks there.

I'm a sucker for a good teddy boy revival . The men's collection that same season is a similar theme and super cool. Thanks to ivwri for posting it over in the waywn thread. I think I spotted Terry Hall (of The Specials) modeling. I think CdG did a similar mens collection around the same time... frock coats, western jackets, creepers, pompadours, etc.

and to add to valter's series of Yohji gangs, here's Madness on the runway in that same collection.

+1 for looking awesome there Ivwri
on another note, i need help finding a new pair of boots to go with my yohji gear, since I pretty much only ever wear boots.
I'm still tempted to get a pair of the red wing loggers that Yohji seems to have glued to his feet, but I was actually thinking about other stuff too, I had a look at Ann D's offering from last fall and this spring, didn't really find anything that blew me away.... then i stumbled onto these Rick Owens http://www.forwardforward.com/fw/DisplayProduct.jsp?code=RICK-MZ19&d=Mens, they look very different zipped up and that's how i'd wear them as I think they look better than Damir Doma's offerings too...
maybe these KVAs... http://www.forwardforward.com/fw/DisplayProduct.jsp?code=KVAN-MZ30&d=Mens
HELP!

FWIW, those KVA boots just underwent another drop. The latest drop plus Forwards evergreen code knocks them down to $300.

There's a ton of this on Gilt right now in its designer blowout sale. Absurdly low prices.

 

[the shah]

can't find any runway shots of SS2011 drop crotch cargo pants H0-P55-057
are they cropped as well ? the cargo pocket looks ok but not sure if it's bulky or unnoticeably smooth along the legs...

Is there a video of this action?
