Ahhh, finally, the Paris fashion week, always a bright spot compared to the dullness of New York and tacky glamour of Milan! Now, where is Ann and Dries and Dirk S and CDG and Junya, and etc...?

I agree, faust! We've suffered long enough and we deserve Paris PaP already!

This is a great collection from Yohji. Very inventive and beautiful, as always!

ignitioned32, thanks for posting. The colors are awesome. There's a great dimensionality (if that's a word) to these extremely well-designed clothes. Love 'em.

thanks...i needed that...(sits back and lights cigarette)...i love those shirts with the ascot-like tie thingy...first thing on my list for fall...also like the pants tied at the ankle...

the skirts seem a bit editorial, no...hard to imagine anyone actually wearing a skirt like that...it would have to be someone with great confidence... B)

thank you so much for sharing...

welcome back lena...just in time...

 

[softgrey]

this made me catch my breath ...the shoes and boots look great...i wish there was a close-up...

 

[Scott]

Ahhhh...volumimous Yohji

Love those coats!

I will post the on and off schedule just keep everyone's enthusiasm up to date as to their faves

 

[Lena]

those skirts are genious and i can see them catching up on streets in Europe.
i actually saw quite some girls with 'helf skirts' while in Paris, at the PVfabrics show (ss05)

thanks softgrey,
i had to be back work on the shows

this is actually a quite wearable collection it might be even 'inspire' one or two looks for the Zara crowd ..giving Zara ideas
more pictures soon.

 

[Lena]

just got a cute mini 'messenger' in exactly Johji's red, it could go so well with this look

 

[Lena]

love this

Yamamoto opts for variations on the red and black, sublimates the wise person lines (black or white) with a tearing detail, stacks pleated skirts of two different lengthes, dares frivolities with these pompoms which rock on ankles !! I like this first show for Paris.

 

[Lena]

my fave out of the collection, a real cuttie i should save for

including those shoes, the whole look is fantastic

Even for a fashion triathlete like Yohji Yamamoto — who shows three collections in Paris every season — plain old sports clothes can get boring. So for his latest collection for Y-3, which he does in collaboration with Adidas, the designer said he “wanted to do something a little more rock ’n’ roll.”
And how. The designer strolled in to his presentation — staged in a Left Bank apartment — just before midnight on Monday to inspect looks inspired by America in the Fifties. Models wearing puffy pink satin skirts with motorcycle embroidery and bowling jackets lined with Hawaiian prints roamed from room to room, stopping occasionally to lounge on the colossal couches. Needless to say, they didn’t break a sweat in this sport collection. Nor would they in Yamamoto’s latest swimwear, meant more for the poolside than the pool. “Some of my pieces can be shown in museums, others in boutiques, and this collection is best taken to the streets,” the designer said.
