        it's not bad. the moving poses always distract me.

          Thanks for posting Laika [51]







          I'm with the majority, not the most thrilled with this.

            Well, there's really not much to go on, is there? [86]



            I think Y's is evolving in a more sophisticated direction, maybe to differentiate itself from Red Label. I like what I see, but there's not enough to really pass judgement. Maybe I will try and get a hold of the lookbook later (although going to YY store always spells danger for me [79]).

              If I'm not mistaken an SA at the SOHO store said that fall will be the first Y's for men not designed by Yohji himself. Not sure if this means women's too. Can anyone confirm deny this? The SA said it would be designed by one of his understudies.

                  i think.. the more dynmaic it should be (moving, flying hair and so on) the more static and boring it seems to me.. always like the more static presentations more..




                  about the clothes.. yes.. its seems nice but not very impressive.

                    yeah this is definitely pretty mediocre...it looks like Y's black label is phasing out of the group. Y's Red Label seems to have it's own place in the YY universe, but the Y's Roppongi Hills flagship has shut down and the Isetan stall is no more. It's a good thing, to tighten the focus of the brand, I think...towards the past few years Y's hasn't produced much stuff of note.



                    Still disappointed with the move to put out Coming Soon but if the tiers of the Yohji brand are gonna target every demographic, looking back on it like that it's a smart business move.
