Honey, does this camouflage my butt?
In Paris, Camouflage Becomes Yamamoto
PARIS: ….fashion shows, when they are good, can make an audience think of something other than where their hemlines will fall next season, which is what Yohji Yamamoto did when he delivered a collection that unintentionally conjured up jittery images of war, as seen through a parade of innocent children’s Halloween costumes, toy soldiers, devils, dinosaurs and sad little clowns....more…
Yes, yes, I know it’s easy to mock fashion shows.
However, Yohji Yamamoto clothes often have the certain charm of surgical appliances. I like it.
When I used to work in the Harajuku district, I used to enjoy watching the daily changes most highly-calculated, dishevelled assemblages of cloth—rather than just “clothes”— that the staff of the fashion-houses would wear. Giga-kool.
(Just for the record, my eye color is as gray-blue as the model pictured on the right. Freaky, but she could be my love-child, hee, hee.)
