Legendary 80s Yohji. Despite being one of the last handful of demigods in high fashion, Yohji still plugs away doing his own thing but remaining highly relevant. I admire that about him. He's not just coasting by his name alone and always doing the samo samo (like Anne-- bless her always for her womenswear, but the menswear, not so much-- well, maybe just for boots).

I adore his revision of his past glories here: The elongated and reboot of the kilt looks supremely sartorial-- I think the twist he's given to menswear, particularly the kilt/skirt here, is appropriately faithful to it's original cultural source without ever looking fashion-y and gimmicky. And more importantly to me, his masterful cuts remain masculine and tailored-- and playful, unlike Rick Owens, whose collections for his recent menswear would look so serious and cold-- and much better on women.

And I love his sexy sense of humor here (can't help but think of the dwarves' stylish beards in The Hobbit movie)-- it's not conceptual and philosophical jibjab like what Tim Blanks wrote of Raf Simons' ridiculous mess of a collection for men; Yohji's is the real deal. It could be a reaction to the fitted tailoring in menswear right now by offering a more generous cut, but it still retains a classic and masculine silhouettes and strong proportions. And, men of all ages and varying sizes will look good in his cuts.

Yay for Yohji!

some good solid yohji classics in this but all the kitschy stuff puts me off a bit.

^ it does get a little too kitschy, but for some reason, it makes me smile, it doesn't bother me at all.. I love it.. brilliant indeed.
