    And for those who haven't seen this yet, the women's show from AW94 was uploaded to youtube a few days ago. It's absolutely stunning. This was the first of two kimono themed collections, the other one was SS95. This one is just amazing. Beautiful shapes, cutting, draping. I love the sunken shoulderlines he also did for AW00. I'll post the first part here:




    This channel also put up several other older women's collections, like the "pinocchio dress" season AW91 as well as SS91, all worth checking out.

                @Faust:

                As of Yohji, is his colab with Adidas respectable in your opinion? It's not because I don't adore his own creations, but I'm just curious whether the sportier Yamamoto-look is appealing for you?

                  No, it's not respectable or appealing in my opinion. I think for the most part collaborations are an exercise in PR and they rarely result in anything interesting. Y-3 though does offer cool clothes on the runway - the last runway show was fantastic. I just don't see them in stores. But, anyway, it's not like Yohji designs it.

                    Interesting point of view about the whole PR-stunt awareness, should have thought of that.

                    I saw your thread with Y-3 just now, saying Schonberger improves the outcome. I agree, much more sophisticated now than previous collections.

                    Thanks for the quick response and for for sharing food for thought!

                              Hi everyone. Am a newbie in this forum or any "style" forum for the matter. Been enjoying what I read and see in this forum and decide to join the conversations.

                              I like Yohji Yamamoto designs even before I realize it was him.

                              I am a fan of Takeshi Kitano's film. I always find the unconventional fit of the yakuza's suit very interesting. Something draw me to it every time I watch those films. And of course the costumes in "Zatoichi" was amazing. Only early this year i realize they were by Yamamoto. Having browse many of the looks in the net and this thread, I am beginning to entertain the idea of entering into the perilous waters of buying some from YYPH. Been looking through my wardrobe and gadgets looking to things I can sell to gather more funds. Been spending hours on the net looking through many of the past seasons collection. I am on the verge of being an addict. I have always been interested in clothes and culture but never consider myself a fashionista or been interested in many labels. Usually I wear engineered garments with a bit of Junya Watanabe and Paul Harnden. But I'm in a strong leaning to giving my wardrobe a "paradigm shift".

                              Want to hear about how you guys started buying YY? I am actually looking at some wide/loose fit pants to begin with. Would be great to hear some opinions.

                                Personally I find his work very thought provoking and encompassing. I don't think everyone can pull it off, especially mixing and matching. If you're considering making an initial purchase or two I would recommend strongly considering how you'll incorporate with your preexisting wardrobe.
