i'm very concern about the material used for this line.. yohji is known for his scratchy knits, burlap feel suits...etc - low quality materials

oh thanks laika...!
i like what i see ...the blue and white looks so so great!...
but more like spring than fall...
it's supposed to be fall, yes?

wonder if there was womenswear in the show?

have to root around and see if i can come up with any additional info...
i had been so focused on the new york store opening that i had forgotten all about this for the moment..

All three looks are really great...

Thanks Laika!

that can't be from the new line - those are pics from the mainline collection from a few summers ago

 

[laika]

oh dear...sorry if I made a mistake, all. The same pics have been featured with all the various announcements.

thanks for clarifying, helena...

This video and article just came in about the new collection on Vogue.com

YAMAMOTO'S COMING SOON

YOHJI YAMAMOTO and Italian design licensing company Sinv Spa have joined forces to launch a new 'super casual' capsule collection, COMING SOON, offering contemporary clothes for men and women that are not about branding - just cool, off-duty design. The first collection, comprising of 170 pieces for men and 200 for women, is casual, comfortable, stylish and - despite being designed to look simple - carefully constructed with the sophisticated detailing that Yamamoto is known for. Not available to buy until July this year, the collection is currently being shown via video link on YouTube. In fact, shunning the catwalk, COMING SOON plans to continue making short films for the next few seasons, choosing different cities, each with a unique group of choreographers and new dancers showcasing the clothes through movement and expression. Click here to watch the first film, COMING SOON - London, for autumn/winter 2008-9, directed by Max Vadukul. (February 5 2008, AM) http://www.vogue.co.uk/vogue_daily/story/story.asp?stid=50350
