liking this alot

[wEstSidE]

i hate those bondage pants so much, but they manage to be in so many collections all the time.

[chub rock]

i dont ever really like yojis collections as a whole. theres always some neat stuff...but yeah ^^ pants that lace up are retarded.

Hmm, I wasn't sure about it after the first few pics, thus I didn't even post here... but after seeing the new ones, I have to say it's pretty damn good.

And I don't think those are really bondage pants, at least not in the evisu bondage way. Or did you mean the fact that you can lace-up the pants?

[goldengloves]

Tiranis, I kinda felt the same way and now after seeing the style.com photos, I quite like the collection.

I think Yohji has perfected the more relaxed silhouette, nothing is really that slim in this collection and it looks great.

i like the X red on the button ups.. .dont know if it's weird suspenders or what.. but it looks cool. that and the butterfly pants are the only things i think i would wear though.

the new pics you posted make the styling look really nice goldengloves, MUCH better than the first set.

i love this look:

and i actually like the bondage pants alot. wish i could pull off an outfit of yohji head to toe. it looks great on the models, but i think it'd just make me look like im trying to make myself look fat.

anyways, i like how pretty much everything is oversized, yet it doesnt look... sloppy (for lack of a better word).

My favourite so far for S/S '08 -- the silhouettes, details, colours, styling -- just everything.

[MiniW]

i like the styling in this collection quite a bit but because the fit is so loose it seems that most looks can be easily re-created from thrift finds and military surplus stores, therefore it is highly unlikely I would buy any piece from the actual line. this is just my opinion.

[fade to black2]

while i'm not exactly jumping out of my seat, there's a few things in here i'd buy...mostly the black/white looks. Can't stand the sheer stuff, some of the pants with the droopy crotch silhouette just look weird, and of course some purposely tacky t-shirts which Yohji's always been fond of, but i just can't see who in their right mind would wear them. Otherwise, looks such as these are a winner:

jackets and pants are great, love the off-looking proportion white shirts with the untucked, billowy/sloppy look. I totally would (and probably will) buy that shit and post in waywt just to get a rise out of my fan club. lol...just kidding, but regardless there's always something in each YY collection that i can connect with.

Also with Yohji it's not a good indicator to go just by the runway show, if you look at his store in Japan and the department stores that carry his stuff, the collections are usually so big that the runway is only a part of it. It might indicate the direction, but by no means is this the meat of it...if you want wearable, there's tons of items in each season that fits the bill.

also think everything about this look is perfection...a bit heavy for spring/summer perhaps, but the good thing about living in a place like hong kong is you can transfer this outfit to the milder seasons and it wouldn't be out of place at all.

[fade to black2]

just saw the whole collection and while there's some styling details i could've done without, i think as a cohesive runway show it is quite brilliant. Looking at it in its entirety i appreciated some of the looks more (e.g. jackets w/ badges on them...wouldn't wear it, but presented here i think it's quite nice). once again i can't overstate how perfect the trouser cuts are, especially when mixed with the loose jackets. Also just when i thought Yohji couldn't do any more with the shirt jacket he went ahead and proved me wrong!

[goldengloves]

Yea, the trousers and jackets are the highlights for me. I can't wait to check it out in stores.

That military jacket with epaulets in both black and olive is amazing. I think I'm going to grab that when it comes around.

fav look from the s/s08 collection

the whole feel of no adjustments (throw it on and youre done) to the clothes is really tight. white suits are always great, diggin the cuffed leg and the high tongue on the boots. the sheer unfinished button-up is really nice and just adds to the theme.
