AP/XINHUA – Low visors, busy prints, and monochromatic urban flair set the tone for Yohji Yamamoto’s latest show.
On a raw-looking runway, his models exuded a cool, insouciant air. Their different ages, backgrounds, and unique profiles were unified by loose silhouettes and funky utilitarian edges like deconstructed collars and suits.
Yamamoto is known for the avant-garde spirit of his clothing. His signature oversized silhouettes in black often feature drapery in varying textures.
Yamamoto played with myriad suit buttons in haphazard positions, reflecting his signature focus on texture and fabric.
The looks were often teeming with details, creating a visual feast of beaded necklaces with an ethnic feel and raw fibre hats.
Black trilby hats added swagger in a cultural contrast, echoing the fusion of styles that defines Yamamoto’s brand.
