yy Yohji Yamamoto Fall/Winter 2012 | Paris Fashion Week

Raw Sophis­ti­cateYohji Yamamoto has always pos­sessed the fine abil­ity of being able to take hon­est gar­ments and lend them a regal spirit, whether cut from lux­u­ri­ous fab­ri­ca­tions or crafted on the mend with any­thing but riches on the mind. The fall/​winter 2012 sea­son is no dif­fer­ent. Some­how, Yamamoto cre­ates a roman­tic fig­ure of his man, dress­ing down his sig­na­ture loosely fit­ted suit­ing with over­size wraps in muted earth tones. Enjoy­ing a lit­tle humor with floppy pipe top hats, a sub­tle cheeky image is jux­ta­posed with the somber mood, cre­ated by out­er­wear boast­ing mil­i­taris­tic insignia. Belong­ing to the same var­ied world, ele­gance is abound with coats bar­ing gold but­tons, prim white neck ties and an inter­est­ing take on the Lon­don banker. Alto­gether the per­fect style palette for the sea­son, Yamamoto once again excels with an aes­thetic that once again feels fresh.

Jean-Luc’s Casting Call Diaries | Paris Fashion Week – Day 2

day2 Jean Luc’s Casting Call Diaries | Paris Fashion Week – Day 2

Boys, Boys, Boys–For my sec­ond day of this new exclu­sive ‘Cast­ing Call Diaries’ series for The Fash­ion­isto, I chased mod­els across Paris from Hauss­mann build­ings by the Chi­cis­sime Avenue Mon­taigne and Avenue de L’Opéra to some more indus­trial photo stu­dios in more pop­u­lar dis­tricts; out of a slightly ambi­tious pro­gram of eight cast­ings I man­aged to cover six : Dior Homme, Mugler, Louis Vuit­ton, Arnys, Yohji Yamamoto and Alexis Mabille … This jour­ney proved to be pretty intense behind the cam­era due to the amount of mod­els who would never miss giv­ing it a chance at cast­ings for such major shows even if they have to carry an umbrella, but granted me to pin to my list of daily tro­phies the likes of Yuri Pleskun, ris­ing star Bap­stiste Radufe, Nico­las Ripoll, Matvey Lykov, Dou­glas Neitzke, Lyle Lod­wick, Corey Bap­tiste, Paul Boche, Vic­tor Nylan­der, Alexan­der Johans­son, Juan Manuel Aran­cibia, Alexan­der Beck, Julien Chanca etc, some newer faces such as Andrea Bel­lis­ario, Timmi Radicke, Julius Ger­hardt, Jay or Noma Han for instance and even the fresh­est first timers you can imag­ine : Jus­tus Eis­feld (who doesn’t even have a paris agency yet) or Isaac Ekblad (who came to Paris to visit his fam­ily and was only dis­cov­ered today by an agency scout as he was walk­ing in the street !) … Also snapped were design­ers Romain Kre­mer (Mugler) and Alexis Mabille … check this space for more to come very soon !

yyspring39 Yohji Yamamoto Spring 2012 | Paris Fashion Week

The School of Form and Func­tion–Con­tin­u­ing his own stake at the time­less clas­sic, Yohji Yamamoto deliv­ers a spring 2012 col­lec­tion with a schol­arly apeal. Bring­ing together the over­size jacket with pleated skirts and cut away lay­ers, an hon­est pre­sen­ta­tion pro­gresses to reveal a joy­ous use of color and print. From azure and for­est green to cobalt, a for­mal respect finds a casual stride as gen­er­ous pro­por­tions adapt to fit many a man.

In 1981, Yohji Yamamoto officially launched his namesake label and made his debut in Paris. Known for his avant-garde taste and aesthetic, Yamamoto creates the perfect marriage between dark romance, wit and historic references. He launched his menswear collection in 1984 with the same grandeur and unconventional sex appeal as his womenswear. The Japanese designer is never one to follow trends and is a master of oversize silhouettes, textured and voluminous suits, somber colors and dramatic drapery. In addition to his high-end Yohji Yamamoto line and his original Y label, Yamamoto churned out a handful of diffusion lines, including the collaborative label Y-3 with Adidas, Y’s Red Label, Limi Feu and an affordable range entitled Coming Soon.
