Top-Bottom: Undercover, Undercover, Preen, V&R, Yohji, Yohji
So far, the spring shows on the runway are summed up as bland. Even the young guns are getting mowed over by marketability. (And I'd hate to elicit summations from snarky fashion journalists such as "grown-up cool" -- fuck you, you smug tarts).
A big yawn.
Among a few collections, the one that's stood out the most to me's been Yohji Yamamoto. Outstanding ideas in a sea of beige rehashes. Maybe it's the way it elicits architecture to me, and has nothing to do with "recollecting" prep school / vintage Americana / glamour hieress / movie star / mash-up / punk rock cocaine anything. Avant-garde's been totally bought up this time.

yohji yamamoto looks hella architetural too. it's like wearing frank lloyd wright's guggenheim around your neck, or zahah hadid around your buttocks.
heck yes bruce!
i'm just waiting for the entire human race to look like buildings, honestly.
fuck nostalgia in fashion! who wouldn't want zaha hadid around their buttocks?
okay ... that sounds a little uncomfortable now that i think about it ;p
yohji yamamoto!? the only name i recognize..
hanging out with you, roger, and kathy, especially in the face of sooo many movies, made me feel like forgetting school for the sake of designing...
party at my co-op next friday! (yes, the day after yom kippur.) come hang out?
hahah if the work i'm doing is 'design,' i'd rather be in school again! heck, i'd even take pseudo-academia if it had less politics ... ;) ... ahhh academia ...
so many beautiful pieces. too bad i went to his store in nyc before fall came out. i only go to see jackets and shoes we though ben would love...
yes ... i'm going to nyc 11/10-11/14, so i better watch myself. ;)
the other problem is i've been really dying for some black over the knee boots with a wide "brim" (balenciaga? jeremy scott?) ... sort of bucaneer style, but i seriously cannot find any in SF. and i know if find some, they're going to be over 2k.
