A really marvelous collection from Yohji this season. His choice of models speaks volumes and the clothing conveys something quite well: that Yohji designs for the realistic man. These looks are practical, comfortable, loose fitting yet incredibly stylish and above all they are wearable on such a dramatic age scale. Young men will look handsome in these clothes and older men will look distinguished. There are seasonal trends sprinkled throughout such as the lace, a small amount of color blocking, et al, but for the most part, this collection seems blatantly driven toward extreme wearability and most importantly, the looks are classic. Not only classic Yohji designs but classic in the sense that they are timeless pieces as well. The look I featured above the collage, however, was without a doubt my favorite, design-wise. The asymmetrical jacket is impeccable. We all know Yohji is the master of asymmetry, but typically we see it from him in a much more unkempt and exaggerated way… but here, it is so well tailored and the proportions are just amazing. An overall A+ from me. In short, this is a collection of effortlessly complex clothing, made for the uniquely average man.
