Yohji Yamamoto S/S 2025 Paris

[runner]

Who is kolesnikov?

there had been one post between mine and Mullet's that doesn't exist now.
yes the pianist

frail

he seems to have positive affirmation of fragility, as something deeper than strength, not as a lack of strength.
as a kind of property or quality, like pianissimo. like a subtle, faint sound would make one's attention acute, expanded and elevated.
long ago he said about kenzo and issey themselves, "they have certain fragility which is personal and charming".

^ yes it's not entirely a bad thing as an artist (Tolstoy's Diaries towards the end, in pure state of fragility and homelessness, is almost cosmical in how he so easily can connect and touch any human who reads that), but there's also the irreversible aspect to it and what it announces and.. the Western in me sees pure despair in the horizon (and in his place in his field!).

 

[runner]

^ what makes this moment special, irreplaceable is the irreversible.
but yes maybe it's cultural in a way.

anyway he looks genki here. almost like what was that on the runway?

 

[MulletProof]

^ what was the music in the show?

 

[runner]

^ you mean the one sung by yohji?
his cover of you want it darker / leonard cohen

"Hineni, hineni, I'm ready, my Lord"
hineni could also be one of the core concepts of buddhism or more specifically zen.

merleau ponty would say "what it announces" is also what makes us love our time with yohji.

I like the deconstructed dresses, they have a destroyed look without being destroyed.

 

[donyan]

gorgeous and my favorite collection in Paris. Every look is perfection.

My Leonard Cohen phase can finally be put to good use! 🤓 “Hineni” means “here I am” in Hebrew, it’s how Abraham replied to god when he was asked to sacrifice his son.

of course yes. and at the same time he officially was a zen monk.
I think he was conscious of what hineni means from both sides there.
strictly, in zen, here-I-am-now, though.
