Yohji Yamamoto S/S 2020 Paris

His collections are an oasis of beauty and oxygen among.... yeah. So thankful he’s still around.. :heart:

I think this is one of the strongest he’s shown in the past few years.. love the childlike details, almost serve as a reminder to reconnect with that sensibility we’ve all passed through.
 
I’m not obsessed with everything and I think it could have been whittled down a bit for a stronger impact...

But it’s beautiful. The strongest looks are the dress and the coat in black and white that riff on the iconic Schiaparelli tear print (#24 and 25). Those two looks are major.
 
God bless this man, he saves fashion for me every season. I will never bore of his interpretation of black garments, the opening slew of looks is perfect, although I think my favourite is the long buttoned dress with the sequined skirt slung over the shoulder.

I do feel that in this day and age I rarely see his work featured in editorial though, which does on occasion impact my ability to remember many of the latter collections as easily as I did those back in the day :(. Not that it's a reflection at all of the quality of his work, rather just something that I've noticed.

When I first heard about the relaunch of Schiaparelli, I was expecting something like those two looks from this Yamamoto collection.
I was expecting something which looks arty like this; and not the clownish and kitsch version of Schiaparelli they insist on deliver us.
 
it seems to reference so many eras - victorians, flappers, the lean 90s - and yet the whole collection hangs together through the colours and details. seeing the man himself is always a treat too. :heart:
 
simply the best...
better than all the rest...
