Minimalist and sexy, these were the directions taken by iconic designer Yohji Yamamoto. Black, a classic for the brand, was duly represented, but colors were also in evidence.
Working with shapes and volumes, Yohji Yamamoto is riding this season’s casual-inspired trend. Let’s not forget that this is Yohji Yamamoto we’re talking about, so his interpretation remains very personal.
Black and white and overlays play an important role in this spring/summer 2014 collection, and the designer reinterprets classic men’s wardrobes in his own way: pants are lined, shirts and jackets are cut in unexpected places.
As the show progresses, more and more colors join the initial palette, including khaki, blue, violet, yellow and orange. The movement of the garments is fluid and light, thanks to the use of summery materials such as linen and satin, and the emphasis is on draping and length.
The leg is revealed in this collection, the result of pantacourts combined with sockless shoes. The more classic looks (suits) are bright and more geared to evening wear.
The sexy attitude of the Yohji Yamamoto spring/summer 2014 collection is embodied by a refreshing cast (including a female model) made up of Lukas Sindicic, Chris Arundel, Theo Derville, Willy Cartier, Shane Gambill and Erik Andersson.
