I can't say I dislike any of the pieces. The colors are great. The red, purple, navy, and brown all work wonderfully here.

Half-tacky, half-Westwood. Why does he have to have 305458 lines. Clearly, it doesn't do him any favors.

/\ Your enthusiasm for deriding commercialization and diffusion lines is misguided here. Y's Red Label is not a diffusion line and is designed by Michiko Suzuki, someone who may eventually be in a position to continue Yohji's legacy and is among the brightest of young Japanese designers today.

The harsh light of the photographs doesn't do the clothes any favors but I actually like the use of color here. At first I didn't like the overt shininess of the fabrics then I realised it's probably just the lighting.

And of course welcome back, Buckwheat.

I also like how some of the footwear has a touch of red lining which will no doubt chip and blacken with wear.

Buckwheat, good to see that your lost interest neither in fashion nor in SZ! Thanks for posting this - beautiful collection. That woman is talented for sure. I want those crazy boots.

[Buckwheat]

Thanks for the welcome back everyone. I have been away to resist the temptations here and to save money :)

I am usually a sucker for the structural pieces from the Yohji lines but the dresses are wonderful here. Maybe the harsh like did it for me Avantster!

[Avantster]

Well it's essentially the female version of the wire.artist outfit, no?

[Fade to Black]

been jonesing to incorporate some of Yohji's red into the black part of my clothes lately...
