Yohji Yamamoto mens F/W 07.08 - Paris

[Superstar]

i am in love with each and everyone of those cartoonish sweaters...

most of them would kill with a white shirt underneath...

EDIT: for the sake of the board....

[masuerte]

I'm just wondering... can we not do the whole "where can I cop" thing here? This isn't supershopper, I feel discussions here should try to downplay the whole consumer side of fashion and talk about the design and how-to-wear/take-care of said design pieces?

[fade to black2]

good to see that after all these years, Yohji's still making coats like the one i got which is pretty much a fossil by now. I love this.

[derdankhund]

very nice collection imo

not feeling the nordic knit thing, but the rest is spot on as far as I'm concerned.

Yohji is my favorite designer, he consistenly brings us great collections. I absolutely love asian culture (anime, cars, food, girls, and porn lol) and I especially like those cartoon sweaters. I agree with Fuuma, the lavendar sweater is the most striking piece out of the whole collection and the chick on it just looks so tasty... mmm... eurasian with a badunkadunk! The only drawback is I couldn't wear the sweater to japanese culture club or anime club at school, I'd be the victim of a bukkauke frenzy with that hot chick on my chest.. lol!

Great timing for this collection to drop! I just raised my high school GPA to a 2.3 so my dad owes me $1,000 as part of our do well in school contract. I might spend all the money on Yohji =))))

btw. where/when can I cop???

Your dad drops 1G on you just when you can get a C average? WTF? Get your priorities straight kid.

Edit: Sorry for derailing the tread. In short, comparing N(N) with YY is like comparing apples and oranges. One designer is legend and forfront leader in a mature romantized aesthetic and the other is a new jack (but very good stylist) with a strange obsession with Johnny Cash/rock and roll...

really, i wasn't going to say anything... but in the future please do not share these stories.

[xcoldricex]

i think the off-handed comment was just because everyone is on n(n)'s jock (here at least) when yy is under the radar.... but i must say i was was pretty disappointed with n(n)'s noir in person.

How about comparing YY with D2?

that's comparing an apple to processed, dried out apple chips.

[djrajio]

With stupid D2 logos/maples leafs stamped on each chip

[nairb49]

drenched in maple syrup.....

hahah, i guess I should give them SOME support for being canadian. but what does that have to do with fashion.....

That's comparing a real apple to plastic fruit.

i have a feeling this comment wasn't so much a serious post, but rather a (lame attempt) at taking a cheap shot at me.

Pathetic...

[nairb49]

?? do you know lms?

[fade to black2]

?? do you know lms?

no, i don't...but the way he worded the post, i think he was mocking me apparently by implying i'm some kind of underachiever who spends all his parents' money on Yohji. I mean, read that post again...that can't be serious.

man maybe i'm being paranoid or whatever but lately i'm feeling a lot of unnecessary heat in my direction. if y'all don't like my posts, just ignore them...i don't feel like getting into any kind of confrontation.

[Analog]

Hey, don't let it get to you Fade - it ain't no thing

[fade to black2]

thanks, analog. i understand my posts aren't very popular on this site because i have a hard time being humble and what not, maybe i'll just tone it down a bit.

[sbw4224]

^ I really wouldn't worry about it, either.

I'll go against the grain here and say that I can't stand the knits with the cartoons on them. I love the rest of the collection, however.

[Icarus]

Have a hard time getting behind those knits, too cartoon with no graphic edge (that's knitting for you, no pop). That pair of boots fade posted would look great on Darkanimal.

[Fuuma]

i wasn't so much comparing the brands' aesthetics, i was commenting more on how despite coming out on the same day, i had a feeling that on the internet, among fashion followers the N(N) was probably gonna get more attention just because it seems to be a hot label right now...whereas Yohji i usually get the sense he's always under the radar.

Oh I get it, then we're in complete agreement. As paradoxal as it may sound, considering the cartoon sweaters, I think Yamamoto's audience is on average more mature than the typical SF member. In other words; it certainly gets recognition but it's not the brand people are looking for on these boards, which is totally fine.

[nairb49]

weird. well don't let them get to you man, nothing but love from me.

[wEstSidE]
