Fall/Winter 2014 will not be so dark and gloomy this time round, according to Yohji Yamamoto on the recent Parisian catwalk. Another Japanese victorious triumph in the West, Yohji steps out of his conventional muse of black haute couture with a multitude of color splashes and prints. Fixated on forever assembling an intimate and poetic collection, as always, Yohji challenges up to the contemplating inspirational theme of life and death. It is by far Yohji’s most maximalist collection ever walked down a runway, not only on account of the mishmashes of prints and colors, but the layering and slashes of his pieces on his blue-streaked haired boys. Yohji never forgets his rock’n’roll spirit and nor has he ever doubted anyone in the industry of that, reminiscing to his earlier fame of radical designs. 

The highlighting factor shifts attention to Yohji’s youthful experiences on specific symbols of skulls, red roses, snakes prints and psychedelic illustrations on oversized pulls and collars-over-collars leather pieces. Moving away from the block of blacks, three-button blazers, cropped pants and raincoats were radically dauntless in dandy floras and sketched patterns in all sorts of color multitudes. Despite of all the layering of printed fabrics, his layering of pants cuffs and slashed zippers and were as much as a shock in the collection. Amongst all that, he used a softening tactic for the collection with elegant suits in red, copper and camel accompanied by studded boots. Biker jackets, wide trousers with sport zips and the classic black leather skirts were similarly as wonderful to process as one of Yohji’s creative rockin’ trademark. 

All beauty was captured on this show, fawning over clothes and grizzled models, as eccentric as never before. Accompanied by a music ambience, the magic, the mood and the creative explosion were all a fantasizing reality for the industry to witness, by Yohji Yamamoto. Despite the refashioning of his ‘blacks’ garments, he himself is convinced to experiment colors and patterns for his personal attires! (Text Nadilla Sari Ratman)
