Thanks Cas, this is all so awesome.
It's interesting that although Yohji is the master of black, he can also surprise us and use colors quite effectively.

the 'colors' shown in this collection are signatures of his, pieces pop up in the same tones regularly throughout his womenswear seasons. Like that tan colored sleeveless blazer/dress was done in a wrinkled leather shirt jacket just last winter.

I'm not sure why you wrote colors like that.
First off, I apologize for not remembering past collections. Cas is right, compared the last few collections there is more color use, regardless if it's the same colors or not.
I wasn't saying that I'm surprised Yohji used color. My point was how well he can insert a color piece into an all black outfit and really make it work. His cuts and tailoring allow the colored pieces to really work much better than a more traditionally tailored piece.
For example:
If you look at the model shown and the model in the background, the black has the illusion of "seeping out" of the black.
