You think? I think RO is more on a Yohji kind of feel seeing as he's been doing the drop crotch and loose trousers for a while longer.

I really like both the men's and women's line though. I can't wait to see this in stores this Fall.

Does anyone know, is this line supposed to be cheaper than his others?

Cas, it's supposed to be contemporary pricing, so quite a bit cheaper. But since they are foregoing any YY branding, I wonder who will be carrying the line? [:^)]

Looks really adorable, I like it a lot. I would wear everyone of those women's outfits and probably some of the men's. [64]

or maybe it will be at the YY stores after all: "Having signed a 10-year licensing deal with Sinv S.p.A. to manufacture
and market the line worldwide through its own showrooms and
distribution network, the pieces will forego Yamamoto's signature label."

wow, these looks totally appeal to me (sort of shocking). is this a diffusion line, or is "coming soon" the name of the f/w collection?

Oh ok, interesting. So I wonder if places like Barneys will stock it? Or maybe boutiques like Oak, Opening Ceremony, etc?

I'm excited for it though, because I would wear all of those looks too.

Edit- Nevermind, just saw your other post Laika. ;)

xadam- It is a diffusion line of some sort, although with no YY branding. But Coming Soon is the name of the line.

Re: Coming Soon F/W 0809 by Yohji Yamamoto

agreed, like the womens more, which is consistent with my overall opinion of yohji's work. i am sure barneys co-op will pick it up.

Re: Coming Soon F/W 0809 by Yohji Yamamoto

its def going to be launched in contemporary stores, i have a few friends that were approached about carrying the line, Hatch showroom is doing west coast i believe

Re: Coming Soon F/W 0809 by Yohji Yamamoto

So I just found out the men's and women's line will be carried at Blackbird in Seattle. Price points are reasonable; Jackets/coats around $600-800, knitwear around $400, and sneakers to be under $200.

Re: Coming Soon F/W 0809 by Yohji Yamamoto



this looks ok but i see no reason for yohji to be coming out with this

ill stick to pour homme ... even y's has already passed the point of letting me down

Re: Coming Soon F/W 0809 by Yohji Yamamoto



It seems quite youth oriented, I think that's one of the reasons
why this puts me off. I don't like clothing that becomes too
age-group directed in its moods, the female part redeems itself a bit I must admit.
