Yohji Yamamoto’s new 2022 autumn/winter menswear collection officially debuted. Due to the epidemic, this show was held at the flagship store in Aoyama, Japan instead of Paris.
This season, we can once again see the different aspects of Yamamoto Yohji’s understanding of clothing. In addition to printing the paintings of Zdzisław Beksiński, a Polish painter famous for dystopian surrealism, and Japanese calligraphy works on coat items, and further re-created through the tailoring of clothing outlines. In addition to interpreting the combination of Eastern and Western elements, it also includes details such as bronze tones, vests, and exposed stitches that resemble work clothes. It also draws inspiration from 19th-century menswear. Of course, the punk style that Yohji Yamamoto has always admired can also be seen in the series. .
It is also worth noting that the makeup on the show and the technique of using many silver-haired models may be related to the 78-year-old Yohji Yamamoto himself, especially the appearance of several middle-aged actors such as Matsushige Feng, Ihara Gangzhi, and Kato Masaya. Surprisingly, the fashion industry, which has always been regarded as chasing new things, is actually closely related to all age groups. Through changes in materials, shapes and tailoring, old things can still show new attitudes.
