[luckyme]

hi runner, out of curiosity did emi style for ujoh as well? some of the photography angles seem similar.

 

[runner]

luckyme, it seems that she didn't work for ujoh.

thanks also from me runner!...
and for explaining about the different lighting...
you're too funny!...
...

nice to see the clothes in action...
i agree that they look much cooler in these shots...
i think they could take the lookbook shoot outside for a change next season...

bringing in an outside stylist is most definitely a change for them...
interesting...

i suppose it's not a big surprise when i say that i love the first dress...
...
i confess that i am also googoo, gaga over the suspendered pants...
two opposite ends of the spectrum, of course...
but, both very kakkoii~!

arigatone ...

Lovely: some beautiful colours, that deep green dress with the lace; the royal blue colour blocking on the little jacket, and that long royal blue skirt paired with a deep green sweater. The plaids work too.

...
still my favourite word!......


thanks for the new pics...
this collection begins to grow on me as i see more pics...
i see more pieces that i like and could incorporate into my wardrobe...
at first i thought-
i really have some version of most of these things in my closet already...
but- now i'm beginning to think...
there are some things that would go nicely with what i have in my closet already...

will be interesting to see the collection in a retail environment...
i don't know how i'll respond...
will have to see...

kinda liking the kimonos though...
wouldn't mind one of those~!!!

***the show seems to be effective in its mission of promoting kimono......

 

[runner]

how was it in the retail environment ?

 

[Koibito]

Great clothes, great show! I don't mind to wear some of those garments although i'm a guy, seriously.

And i wish i could hear the sound of the video, a Japanese orchestra like Matsuri by Kitaro for example.

how was it in the retail environment ?

arigatone for the video, dear runner...

in the retail environment, i have to say that this collection left me flat...
i cannot say there is any one thing wrong with it, only that it did not inspire me...
the best bits for me are the accessories---
the rubber-soled motorcycle boots look really good- even better in person than i had imagined...
and i really love the triple scarf, which i tried on and thought about purchasing...
this is a classic yohji piece though, so, nothing new about that...

i think it is just too oversized and slouchy for me somehow...
even though i really love that first dress, still- it is impossibly long, as usual...
and with the pants, i like the selection from regulation---
seems like there is some overlap there which is possibly problematic...
also- i think that Y's must sell quite well because even if i liked something, they rarely had it in my size...
it was sold out...or they kept saying- 'free size'...
which is nonsense...i could read the size 1 on the tag and i know that is the size of most japanese people...
so i guess that a lot of stores just only have size 1...
but i am almost always size 2, so there wasn't a lot for me to even choose from...
*size 1 fits, but size 2 give me room to breathe...
anyway- that kept me from doing more damage when i went over to the limi feu dept...
...

i was looking for the little booties with the two zips in the back that i saw on some website, but i never managed to find them anywhere...
...

so- yeah, not my favourite season from Y's...

i think for someone younger who is just being introduced to the world of yohji, there are a lot of good things that are part of the yohji lexicon though...
cutaway jacket, asymmetrical skirts, cool cropped pants, etc...

i just have all those things already...

it's like what i said to ms ashida...
everything was nice, but nothing made my heart leap the way those pieces did from last year...
