Paris – Paris (AP) – Yohji Yamamoto introduced on Friday the Paris Fashion Week collection, which distilled its tongue in its core: monochrome, city, liquid silhouettes affected by outbreaks of the uprising.
The show opened with accelerated black glances, some motives of graffiti with bearings before soft fringes in sandals provided the severity of a softer swing.
Tartan arrived in a crushed, destroyed form, interrupting meditation in black with a push of a drawing, followed by white dresses that stretched to strips, etheric, but raw. The foliage, similar to groups, traced the trunk like abstract vine. Finally, Red appeared in sculptural coats – the heyday of the drama, which emphasized its instinct for a thin spectacle.
In 81, Yamamoto had long resisted fashion cycles. He is still a master of deconstruction: puzzles, layered bustle and cubist geometry determined his decades of work. Here, however, he leaned toward simplicity, repeating his recent show, where fragility and expansion of rights and capabilities are in balance, and where black becomes a multidimensional canvas.
The production was shut up, the slow step of the models increased the feeling of timelessness. In the era of constant rethinking, the refusal of Yamamoto to pursue a novelty is read as a radical. His clothing remains unmistakable to him: esoteric, emotional and steadily chic.
