I was fortunate enough to snap up three tickets to a dinky little catwalk of Yohji Yamamoto's spring summer 2011 collection at one of my fondest London museums. The runway was set in the Raphael gallery, adorned by hanging Renaissance paintings which contrasted beautifully with the futuristic air of the Japanese designer's clothing. I overheard a small group of Japanese behind me, who muttered some comments on how us Britons need to be educated on their nation's fashion, but in all honesty I was much to occupied oogling the luxe clothing, where sinuous fabrics and fluidity play an important role to the motion and rhythm of the outfit - once again proof that Yamamoto's clothes are extremely wearable and current to the hectic lifestyle of our times.
The clothes were modelled by real life couples, how adorable
(and I suppose it brushed over the superficiality of the fashion industry, making the entire experience some what a whole lot more meaningful?)
(The intricate detail of the paisley print was very clever! How refreshing to juxtapose gentlemanly dapper dressing with a sharp cut and asymmetric silhouette.)
(Loved the skirt in person, but the top read a different slogan along the lines of being superficial, which I definitely preferred... if speaking as a potential client...)
All in all a worthwhile visit! And I'd urge all to visit the V&A shop (the Christian Lacroix papier collection is divine!!!!! That is all.)
