gorgeous! thanks for sharing the pics

 

[luckyme]

yohji is always pretty great imo...

this is my most recent purchase...
double layered blouson tank with drawstring at each hip...

are you kidding me
I think that is the pre-order I did from neimans months ago. it couldnt really see it clearly from their crappy pictures in the lookbook but I remember drawstrings. I hope that's the one I ordered because its so striking on you.

thanks inaya and lucky......

lucky- what's going on with that dress you ordered from yoox...
did it come yet?
how does it look?

 

[luckyme]

I received the dress but it is too big for me [in the chest ], so its up on ebay or I will return it. It wasnt fugly at all B)...but quite the opposite, very yohjilicious.

Since you look so good in the y's piece, I think I'll go with the IM frontier top and we could trade closets one day. It still has drawstrings which is what I'm into these days, I guess.

That's a shame about the dress, lucky.

soft, that is a very cute top, very you!

 

[softgrey]

thanks laika...
sorry the dress didn't work lucky...

inaya...i keep seeing yohji pants that look like your suspender pants...
they are such a classic piece..

 

[luckyme]

has anyone seen what y-3 is doing this season? its seems more artsy, less sporty, and ties in so easily with other yohji collections.

the two divided skirts are really wow! I decided to try the wool one with the single legging ...hoping it will look great over the gary graham leggings. update: the legging part has very tight elastic that acts like a tourniquet, not well thought out IMO.

the men's jod's sold out already but how great are those boots. B)

i was at the show and imo this is the best Y-3 collection ever..
i have said that before...
...

the pics you posted are really cool..
looks really different than how it was presented on the runway...

*off topic...
it's crazy...
that store is right around the corner from me and i have still never been inside..

oak has fantastic styling.

ive never been a fan of y-3 but this has definitely changed my opinion.

didnt the runway have an ice floor?

i could see you in the wool drawstring skirt.

"Breaknews" ; i'll be at the Y.Yamamoto fashion show women (sept 29 in Paris) héhé

 

[softgrey]

i would love to go to a yohji show in paris...
* to quite a lot of paris shows actually......
have a great time charly!...


lucky...
the floor was wet...but not ice...
the WALL behind the models was made of ice blocks...
everyone sat on bleachers and got a Y-3 fleece blanket roll to keep warm...

 

[wire.artist]

wow, that's an improvement, it's the first time I've ever considered buying some Y-3, the boots look amazing.

charly you are a lucky guy you know....

some yohji I've worn lately (my wardrobe is going becoming 100% yohji faster and faster)

ss07 100% hemp, I think this is something new... a male dress that remains manly. It feels like a dress, so light.
Carpe Diem bulbous ankle boots, muji recycled cotton tee (check these, they are really nice and unexpensive)

YY sheer ramie suit

silly pic, but you can see the texture.

y's Baggy thick cotton trousers, YY lace white shirt from the baseball collection, YY army sneakers from this spring, y's suspenders, muji recycled cotton tee.

^ so AMAZING ^

:dies:

 

[luckyme]

wire.artist, I don't know if you were made for Yohji or Yohji is made for you but its obvious... its so You.

p.s. who puts a spotless toilet out on the street like that?

thanks inaya and luckyme

Just wanted to mention in case no one knows..
There is a film
with Yohji Yamamoto and Wim Wenders

Notebook on cities & clothes

s: amazon.ca

I just watched it last weekend..
There are some nice points I guess, esp for designers and stylists
why we dress, outward impressions on other people by how we dress, etc. ...

and I loved the part when they showed a few of the books Yohji's collected

and of course them making the clothes (s/s 98 if I remember correctly), making the drafts
Not a bio or a review of Yohji's work though, this film

 

[capt.charly]

oh nice !!
thanks for posting gius

 

[wheneveriwakeup]

Wire.Artist - those are so good...
That ramie suit in particular is esp. amazing...
I'd wear it in a heartbeat...
