Yohji Yamamoto Spring 2010

Spring 2010 is look­ing gloomy for Yohji Yamamoto. Falling vic­tim to the reces­sion, Yamamoto opted out of a run­way show this sea­son, instead hav­ing a show­room pre­sen­ta­tion. Shown was a restrained selec­tion of suit­ing pieces that con­form to the designer’s sig­na­ture over­size aes­thetic. All black and no fun with the excep­tion of the mohair knits, it is unfor­tu­nate that the col­lec­tion lacks pieces to cap­ture the imag­i­na­tion. Show­cas­ing the clas­sics is fine and dandy, but hope­fully come fall 2010, Yamamoto will bounce back with a fresh cre­ative perspective.
