The only collection of the season that’s at once so effortlessly extravagant and so formally casual. Simply exquisite, from start to finish. After Armani’s passing, Yohji is truly the last of the Greats still standing strong without a tinge of gimmicks, designing for women and men who know their style, not desperately chasing after the approval of children who throw out their wears after 15min.

(I’d love to see him throw in something unexpected— a heeled boot to solidly structure the lightless of the drapes/folds/flows of the dresses-only collection. But maybe that’s just not Yohji. And right now in fashion, I wouldn’t wish him to be any other way.

...Mullet's going to love this.)

Happy birthday Yohji-san!

Wow the last look is a retrospective nod to that renowned Fall 1986 moment.

And that Spirited Away OST from nowhere is low key my guilty pleasure.

I love Yohji, but I am not going to pretend that this moved me in any way. I liked some of the draped dresses and the red at the end added much needed dynamism. At this point I am just happy he is healthy enough to still work and do shows.

The amount of detail that goes into each piece is nothing short of extraordinary. From top to bottom, left to right, front to back, these pieces are BEGGING to be seen up close and personal to figure out how exactly they were designed. Minus the opening coats (coats? dresses?) at Tom Ford, I can't say that about much else I've seen this season.

And the tribute to Armani was a great touch. Did anybody in Milan do the same?

^^^Giorgio and him were good friends. Japanese interviews/articles provides so many precisely informations.

I wanna cry, miss u my king

this requires time for consciousness's duration and space for air current. more than usual. tough collection for pics.

^ So true. You can't really appreciate Yohji's work from a 2D point of view.

I love that Armani tribute, very touching. Beyond that the fringed black pieces towards the beginning stand out to me. Overall this feels like one of the more romantic Yohji collections in a while. Not such a fan of the plaid pieces but all in all something to treasure.

So beautiful and moving. Yohji rarely misses.

Beautiful clothes, but almost every look here apart from the looks with the plain black dresses is begging to be styled differently

Love this. Beautifully put.

Not that anyone is immune to criticism but I feel some people have become accustomed to or are taking for granted his greatness. When the unfortunate time comes and he’s no longer here those same people might look back at the collections they initially skimmed past through with a newfound fondness.

Which makes me a little sad. But I’m probably too sentimental at times lol

 

[tricotineacetat]

At this point I am grateful for every season Yohji continues to design collections, considering most of his contemporaries have long retired from the scene.

That aside, I wished this particular collection offered a bit more variety in dressing proposals - Most of what we saw consisted of the collage-y silhouettes he has been showing for the past few years where it’s hard to dissect a look into separate pieces. It would have been nice to see a jacket, outerwear or a piece of outerwear that can just clearly identify as that - Not that I doubt he did not design any for this season, it’s just that none of those items were put on the runway.

Ohh, I think I'll print this one

 

[Kanzai]

Oh there's also a cover of 君をのせて from Laputa: castle in the sky. Like who doesn't love Ghibli?

It’s a gift to still have someone like Yohji active, on the calendar. He is almost one of those « Gardien du temps » left.

I wish he did a collection with solid colors. No prints, no nothing. I think the magic of his work lies in the purity.

Great touching hommage to Giorgio. They rose to fame at the same time. And he is someone who has always showed respect to designers.

That being said, this is quite sumptuous…

Truly the work of a maestro and the last of his king. I love how he understands fabric and how it behaves when used in a certain way. The twists and knots and the frills slithering through the body had an unmistakable Yohji sensuality to it.

We are truly blessed to still have him around, talent like his will be irreplaceable.

Bless him, but so boring
