What are all of Yohji's lines?
Y's, pour homme, coming soon (y3 but not really)
is that all? What's the difference between Y's and Pour Homme?

>>8697122
Pour Homme -> For Men

>>8697081

>How to yohji?
buy and wear yohji clothes
>What type of shoes go best with yohjicore?
>yohjicore
>yohji inspired fit

slot down m8 ur taking the worst approach possible to this

first of all stop mentally grouping things into "-core" it's bad for u and should only be said ironically or as a joke

Fuark, is that half as comfy as it looks?

>>8697178
its yohji, so yes.
just kidding
I've never touched yohji

Shoes with a wide profile do pretty well with Yohji.

>>8697178
it is. the gabardine wool is so nice against the skin, and the loose silhouttes are something else.

>>8697122
For men there is only YYPH and s'yte, regulation and costume d'homme function within YYPH and not as separate lines.

Loads of females lines though.

>>8697081
as far as shoes are concerned, whatever works with the silhouette. It can range from derby oxfords to combat boots and sneakers.

autism: the thread
does that guy david lee think he looks good? he looks ridiculous. like some kind of midget rabbi

>>8697081
black slip on vans, docs

>>8698209
I hate to say it but I agree with you... David seems nice enough a bloke but I remember when he first started posting in the styleforum thread it was just cringe worthy the fits he put together, just basically slapping any ol second hand yohji shit together. He represented my biggest issue with people wearing yohji, most think it's easy.

Guys like him basically fucked up the second hand market by paying just about any price and encouraged others to buy stuff from rakuten and attempt to sell on ebay for ridiculously inflated prices... selling second hand stuff more expensively than sale stock of new collection is just fucking stupid.

Actually not David, that entire styleforum thread was cancer. Just check it out to see examples of what I'm bitching about with the random slapping together of yohji.

>>8698227
yes you articulated it much better than i did. i think he has some kind of collector complex that transcends the wearability of the clothing. he is obsessed, never satisfied and always buyng more and more used crap, never actually looking good or developing a style. just wearing it because its yohji

>>8698209
>>8698227
link me to his post?

w2c his s'yte stuff in Europe?

>>8697178
its heavenly, new stuff especially. wish i could cop rather than try on instore though :'

>>8699025
its only sold in jp

>>8699141

>>8697122

y-3, coming soon, and y's for men are all to be considered diffusion, hardly touched by yohji himself, if at all.

pour homme is the real good stuff that his heart's into, I'm not aware of the others personally.

>>8699147

>>8699156

anyone got any tips in pulling his stuff off? i dont want to make the same mistakes as the styleforum guys

>>8699164
Oh man, styleforum is hilarious, especially since they don't dare telling others when they look like shit by fear of getting banned.

So where to begin with this aesthetic? Loose shirts and pants?

>>8699164

If you actually went through the thread you'd find that the Styleforum guys actually do Yohji incredibly well, maybe with the exception of a few people.

Do your own research and form your own opinions, it's hilarious that you're being condescending towards them while asking fucking 4chan /fa/ for "tips" on pulling it off, you massive fuccboi.

>>8699149
so, w2c yohji pour homme in europe?
I desperately want one of his super duper comfy looking pants but I don't know where to search(except rakuten, of course)

>>8700264

>>8700313
its so hilarious to watch him fail again and again

sieg youre too fat even for oversized yohji

>>8700337

that wasn't sieg you fucking retard that was one of the dudes pretending to be sieg

>>8697081
is that alex?

where does he live?

>>8700349
that was me you fucking retard, youre just one of the dudes pretending not to be me

>>8700364

i think it's time for some self reflection anon

seriously what are you doing with your life? step away from the screen and take in what you are doing right now, sitting in your room behind a screen and keyboard pretending to be someone else.

that's not even pathetic, it's just sad. genuinely sad.

>>8697143
fuckin AYE /thread

>>8700371
b cool sieg
theres no reason to be upset

>>8700353
Seattle

whether it was sieg before or not, can someone please say where can yohji pour homme be found in europe? I'm interested too becase I only manage to find the Y3 line

P.S.: sieg please, use a trip so I can filt.. ehm, so no one can steal your name :^)

>>8700532

google.com you fucking retard how about next time you actually use it like any regularly functioning person instead of imitating others on 4chan you massive autist

>>8698378
To be fair, David doesn't actually sell, he merely buys. It's guys like that Dantebykiko idiot who buys 100 dollar Y's for men suits that are 10 years old and puts it on ebay for 600. Even if he doesn't sell it, which he never does at that price, other people follow suit and creates a ridiculous price bubble.

Worst part is, remember this is second hand, so NONE of it helps Yohji Inc at all.

>>8698465
just go through that thread, plenty to be found.

>>8699025
you can order online from the Japanese webstore.

>>8699149
Y's for men and Coming soon have been long defunct. Y's was largely a more wearable interpretation of YYPH runway, by that I mean the cuts were usually less exaggerated and you wouldn't feel out of place at a business meeting in a Y's suit.

It's debatable how much control Yohji has these days given the relinquishing of financial control after the GFC and the fact that his assistants have been with him for literally decades. I'm just surprised he hasn't done an Ann D yet... could be he still loves it could be that it's contractual obligation.

>>8699164
>>8699182
>>8699920
Some of the fits there are fantastic. The Nigerian guy who started that thread for example, also has anyone ever been to the Paris store during sales time? Nigerians EVERYWHERE, they love that Yohji.

>>8700532

London has a Yohji boutique, bet there is one in Paris and other cities

>>8701052
not to mention the numerous European based online stores that stock Yohji.

Give Farfetch a go buddy >>8700532

Now i'm gonna go through SF and pick out the ones which I think work.

The one posted is current AW14 and the volumes work really well and I can imagine it looking the shit when moving. But I wish that guy would lose the hat as it's disproportionate to the silhouette.

I'd choose shoes with more bulk to "plant" the outfit a bit more.

>>8701033
>NONE of it helps Yohji Inc at all.
Oh no, a multinational luxury producer is participating in normal markets?!
How awful.
Good thing Yohji doesn't give a fuck.
One of the most reliable sentiments in the Yohji Yamamoto mythos is his confliction with his involvement in the luxury consumer market and his intimate perception on how clothing should be approached.
Surprise surprise, he doesn't enjoy adolescent men throwing bags of money at his feet.

Because there is such a poor grasp on Yohji's work here I'll see if I can do this thread some justice.

BUT PLEASE go to the front page of the SF thread and open all the tabs that link to old Yohji runways and actually look at them.
Perspective yo.

>>8701101
I'm just posting t-shirts.

>>8701073
Nice strawman there mate, so if Yohji doesn't care, then all arguments are negated? Didn't realise we had Yohji himself on /fa/, glad to know your opinions Yohji-sama.

You're missing the point, what I'm describing is the reality of the situation.

>>8701091
the SF thread should be a guide, but if you think it has everything you need to know that's ridiculous. I actually gave up trying to find more fits that were good since there was just way too many horrible ones to go through.

>>8701106

>>8701115
This campaign is probably one of my favourite shoots. Not just because I've worn something very similar.

Simplicity. Let the fabric do the talking.

>>8701123
Another good one from SF. Making it look effortless and a few grains of not giving a fuck.

>>8701108
When you begin your sentence with 'strawman' I'm reluctant to read on.

You claim to be concerned about Yohji yet you don't know possess the necessary philology to really make any claims.

You can't compete. Take your privileged shit posting elsewhere.

I never claimed it had everything you need to know but if you actually spent time looking at the first post in the thread. You know, the one with images from the 80s and behind the scenes photo shoots with Max and Nick? There's real gold there.

Please, do yourself a favour and read.
Who knows, you might actually produce a worthwhile opinion.

>>8701123
Can you expand on that?
I mean, I'm happy to leave you telling me to talk to fabric but when we're posting on a discussion board on the internet I really can't milk that.

>>8701140

>>8701145
Oh, there's a lot of writing about these jackets. European military planes painted up with women like this.
Google it.

>>8701135
When your posts start with patronising comments and show no substance it's just difficult to take you seriously.

Best part is you actually have no idea how much I contributed to that styleforum thread from the beginning. Just do me a favour and spout your bullshit elsewhere.

And I do apologise for not "know possess the necessary philology".

All I have is my years of buying Yohji, learning why Yohji choose particular techniques and visiting the old dudes who've crafted his fabrics (and CdG) for decades and conversations with people within the company and a decent understanding of how the business works.

>>8701153
Juste des vêtements

>>8701160
Produce substance or move out.
There's no room for you here.

I'm really impressed. You've managed to spend all that time with the work and never expanded on it.
Truly remarkable.

If you don't understand it, or don't know what you're talking about; the least you could do is shut up.

>>8701153

iirc it was supposed 2 be referencing the art on US military planes

fw91 6.1 the men i love finding material on it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqIz1pskKVA&list=UUYC5UCmEOqs2iqhxqq7ixiA

and iirc the vest you posted had something to do with counterfeit watch sellers / someone made a guess / connection to it

>>8701140
It wasn't a direct response to you, merely continuing your posting with items.

But my comment was if you look at the rest of the campaign, the cotton hakama and shirt actually seem like they're moving within the still.

I have that same hakama and it's probably just me projecting how it moves onto the still.

I quite like the pic related to, the guys seems short but pulls it off really well as being tall can be an advantage when it comes to yohji, especially the coats/jackets with wider cuts around the chest and waist.

>>8701160

Calm the fuck down mif, you always get so uppity when you're angry. Not that guy btw

>>8701162

That dress or one similar to it / possibly from the same collection was shown in the archive show

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YP2TuXfdWRU

3:40 the lady walking down then the music change around 3:50 always sends shivers down my spine

>>8701174
There's a lot to say about this collection. I like to imagine...
You know when Yohji was first received by the West he was immediately cast into the realm of 'that Japanese designer'. you know, kind of faceless through the 'japanese' title.
It's a bit childish but I like to think with SS99 (which you should put into youtube right now) he was just all 'Fuck your western traditions then' and turned the age-old European martial ceremony intro a strip tease.
There's actually a lot more to the collection but I like thinking maybe that's also a part of it.

other than the japanese sales associates, guy on left is epitome of yohji for me

i met up with him when i was in tokyo last month and had coffee with his friends, cool guy

>>8701174
>>another bullshit post with nothing of value
Christ you're worse than turnleft, but good job of parroting everything ive criticised about you. If all you can come up with is "I'm rubber and you're glue" then we're done here.

>>8701184
thanks for the advice but go fuck yourself, don't tell me to calm down when you know i'm passionate about my Yohji :)

also I think David must be really short... he's standing next to Yohji-sama himself and he's smaller. Even with the red wing logger boots yohji is about 5'6

I quite like David's fit here except the hat

>>8701177
I don't know if it's limited to US military.

>>8701179
>cotton hakama and shirt actually seem like they're moving within the still.
Sure, lots of good analysis here.

I think it's just the volume. I think anything with so much volume hinged on a small area of rotation will move in a really dynamic way.
Not to say it Isn't beautiful but rather there is so much better.

>>8701194
I haven't seen this.
Thank you.

As much as I appreciate the resources I also despise 'feel talk'.
Please expand.

"ill fukn fite u m8"

>>8701205
He's ALWAYS at Yohji's shows. Who is he? I know he's not related to the company in a work capacity,.

>>8701228
check out SS12 YYPH runway show, you'll see that dynamism in motion. And then look at the campaign again, you'll probably understand better what I was getting at.

I am TurnLeft

Leave my thread
I'm making something good here.

I know more about the Yohji narrative and I can prove it.
You're gum under my shoe. Is there a toxic slime flavour? Hubba Bubba maybe.

>>8701205

How tall is he?

>>8701161
fix'd

>>8701226

Yeah some of his fits are definitely good but I just don't really get the deal with him it seems like he has alot of pieces that are similar and / or just buys for the sake of buying you know

Can't knock the hustle though he's a dentist or something and makes alot of money

>>8701228

What do you mean by 'feel talk'

I like this editorial too, dancers in hakamas and shirts

>>8701241
I've seen it and I didn't care for it.

Don't get it twisted, I don't actually think you're incapable of articulating yourself. I'm just teasing you.

>>8701258
>always sends shivers down my spine
>you'll see that dynamism in motion.
(wow what the fuck does that even mean...)
>actually seem like they're moving within the still.
>Simplicity. Let the fabric do the talking.
Actually, most of this isn't feel talk. It's just empty commentary.

>>8701248
It's alright mate, keep talking about items you've never seen in person or touched like you're an expert.

I'll leave you alone though cause I genuinely believe you're mentally ill.

>>8701232

Apparently he was a sales associate at a Yohji store a while ago, but he's just a student (japanese history major) and the only reason he was in Paris for a show or two was because his girlfriend at the time (pic related) went to school in Paris and worked for Yohji (saw some photos of her backstage with Yohji during fittings on kiko's instagram around the fw14 show)

He said he might have another opportunity to work for Yohji within the company soon but is only considering it because he still has to go to school

>>8701258
It's so weird. The relationship with Frankfurt Ballet school and Japanese designers. I actually think they've conscripted a lot of other too but the ones that come to mind for me are Issey and Yohji.
I've also read some mad shit talking on Frankfurt Ballet school which has been pretty interesting.

I have no idea what to think but they really do perform wonderfully.

>>8697148
this is like something Earth would do

>>8701271
This is really low of me but I enjoy watching you hop on... one foot? Can you even say that?

>>8701262
>>I've seen it and I didn't care for it.
really? I feel like SS12 was one of the best collections, especially at that time. It signalled Yohji Inc was truly back in business. And thanks but I know I can be really shit at expressing my thoughts.

But fair enough, which collection have you really liked?

>>8701258
I completely agree with the buying for the sake of buying comment. The fact that he lists every item by the collection just seems unnecessary and adds credit to your point about the "collecting" mentality.

that Dancer editorial for SS12 was amazing. I think it was a conscious dedication for Pina.

>>8701269
It's alright mate, it's common behaviour to dismiss things that go over your head.

>>8701289
The one the image is taken from.
I think it's AW94. I always forget.

Current Yohji doesn't move me like CorporatePriestess moved me.

>>8701273
ahhhh that makes sense, I've seen the girl but didn't know the collection. I half expected to see the guy on a runway sometime. thanks.

>>8701278
Could you expand on the frankfurt school? I didn't know the dancers were from that school, I actually thought it might been related to Pina Bausch... maybe I was wrong about that connection?

>>8701288
Can't say i've heard that expression hopping on one foot, unless you're talking about the mentally ill comment to which the answer is: Yes, it's the internet.

>>8701269

Well I just thought the outfit and the lady wearing it went very well together and was beautiful, and the dramatic music added to the effect.

People can't always exactly articulate why they find something to be breathtaking, what elements in what they're looking at evoke such a response, etc.

>"It [art] creates a vocabulary of meaning that transcends language. (Different mediums like music gives one an experience that language cannot. Therefore, our response to art isn’t always rational or expressible.)"

Quote is obviously about art and the whole art vs. fashion / is fashion art discussion is a whole other thing but this is what I mean, sometimes I can't exactly explain what I'm feeling and why u know?

Although maybe related I used to learn piano as a kid and my mom would always play classical / orchestral music and I remember I heard that song alot while hanging around the house

What the fuck is with /fa/ and its people compulsively adding "core" to the end of just about every thing ever?

trying to do some kinda bootcore fit with these IRs what do i do??

nice bro really feeling that juliuscore fit

tfw i cant rock runwaygallianocore irl :(

>>8701289
By the way.

This is probably one of the more interesting shoots where yohji was used.

>>8701313
I don't think i've ever seen it beside your current example.

>>8701315
huh?

>>8701310
I thought it was Frankfurt?
I'm not entirely sure but I know Frankfurt has had work done with Issey, and I've read Yohji.. I think it was in that Coffee table book, or maybe Talking to Myself.

You're replying to me twice.
Who is ill?

>>8701311
'lady wearing it went very well together and was beautiful, and the dramatic music added to the effec'
I can appreciate that to you this means something, but for example. What in the music, what in the clothing, what in the movement makes you feel the chill in your spine and why?
Do you possess those nodes?

>People can't always exactly articulate why they find something to be breathtaking, what elements in what they're looking at evoke such a response,
Of course not, and I wouldn't dare ask that much, but you have to understand what you're providing is next to worthless.

> learn piano as a kid and my mom would always play classical / orchestral music and I remember I heard that song alot while hanging around the house
this is more meaningful.

>>8701309
I'll expand on this in a second.

Also I just realized that Rei Issey and Yohji have all at one point worked closely with dancers / dance institutions

How interesting, maybe we're onto something culturally. Or maybe dance and fashion were just closely connected in the zeitgeist during those times?

I went to a Japanese fashion exhibition last year and remember an Issey show being played where the models were like dancing forest nymphs (?) or something, anyone know the season? would love to see it again

Man in pic related looks EXACTLY like the chef I used to work with at a restaurant, I thought of doing something a la Sonomama Sonomama and getting him to wear my Yohji suit to take pics of him cooking some delicious pasta

>>8701289
>It signalled Yohji Inc was truly back in business
poorfag talking up Y-3 china license garbage

lol

i got this keychain from ferrari and it's truly exceptional, it's leagues ahead of all the other keychains i have owned in my life and it truly represents the build quality of the brand truly remarkable hurrr

since you don't have degree the keychain metaphor is what you are doing

and poor, stupid and ugly
is what you are

>>8701336
I think i might stop quoting now, too many anons to get it done properly and I'm just confusing everyone

>>8701339
Rei, Issey, Yohji, Walter, Rick Owens... the list goes on.
Culturally? Like japanese people also like to jam out? What a surprise.

Most Issey collections are the models twirling around on stage. it's great.

I need to get back to work.

I don't think I'll make that post explaining why it's my favourite collection. I guess I'm all smoke anyway. Something about having a fucking rad time and why that's important.
But I'll save myself here.

>>8701357
Congrats, would you like a cookie ya daft cunt? haha. Jesus. Get over yourself.

Pic : No secret that Yohji has used August Sanders' works as inspirations for his collections.

>>8701400

Don't know what happened to my name there

PIC: some ladies killing it in yohji womenswear, by some ladies I mean company girls.

Hey Yohji experts, what're some of the best books to learn more about his work and career?

>>8701409
There is an element of perverse comfort that I love about this shot. Someone like Pina who has used her skills to tone her body into an instrument should have no insecurities, but to me she just seems perfect draped in something that 'hides' her.

>>8701420
give this one a try, probably the easiest one to jump into. Will give you enough of a history.

there was a Chinese magazine a few months ago that dedicated the issue to Yohji and was actually one of the best reads on Yohji I've seen, as far as a historical overview is concerned anyway.

>>8701339
so has mugler although not japanese

>>8701355
he doesn't have any

he only knows of y-3

also put your trip back o mifune

>>8701441
We all know y-3 is the only true Yohji line.

Just a few more hours and they're mine
>>8701434
That fucking sucks, I hate those i-D/Taschen books
>>8701420
Why go with books? I love books as much as the next man, but frankly, there are far better resources online - articles, videos, etc
That said, I have Future Beauty, and while it focuses mainly on CdG, it's got some interesting sections on Yohji and some beautiful photos of archival pieces
Can't believe the exhibition is coming to Brisbane!

>>8701409

Do you know what they do within the company? I knew the girl on left is with yohji inc but i didn't know girl on right was as well, thought she was just a friend

>>8701420

idk i don't think there is any "best" resource or whatever but here are a few that i've read / looked through

japan fashion now
future beauty 30 years of japanese fashion
japanese fashion designers
yohji yamamoto (taschen) book mifune posted
yohji yamamoto v&a book
recent one in japanese called all about yohji yamamoto, looked through it when i was in japan, lots and lots of #rare photos and alot of text as well... hopefully there will be an english translation

there is also a new one coming out within a few months called Yamamoto & Yohji

Pic is from All about Yohji Yamamoto, YUNG YOHJI at 25 years old working in his mother's shop. There were also photos of Yohji's student work at Bunka including the one that won him the So-En award for his first trip to Paris. My favourite was a group photo during 6.1 the men of all the models with their name, age, and occupation listed. It even showed that one Yohji Paris PR fella who had to sub in for one of the models who had to go to the hospital because he got in a drunk fight with one of the members of NTM lol

>>8701477

Seconding this, if you have access to a university online library / archive there is tons of material to be found, I've found some articles from the 80s that were archived and it's really interesting to read about how Yohji was taken at the time. Also major publications like New York Times will usually have a good archive of articles, they have a good amount of Yohji related ones too

Pic is some dude in the 80s / 90s in Yohji

Also this is one of my favourite videos, Irene Silvagni who was Yohji's Art Director talks about Yohji's debut and career during the 80s / 90s

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDpvSi9gy-E

>>8701434
yeah, not a big fan of those books.

>>8701420
Best one IMO is The Japanese Revolution in Paris Fashion. Light on the pictures but great on social-political side, used alot it for a thesis.
Stuff by Bonnie English might be worth looking at but I'm not a fan, too orientalistic

I own quite a few lookbooks and they're great.

>>8701477
What's coming to Brisbane? I think I might have to come up.

>>8701533
Future Beauty: 30 Years of Japanese Fashion
Archival pieces from Yohji, Issey, lines of Comme, Undercover
Do come, we can have a Yohji/Schneider meetup!

>>8701533

The Future Beauty exhibition. I went to it in Seattle last summer and it was great, after that I think it's been at Salem Massachusetts and Kyoto, you should definitely check it out it was amazing

>>8701326

Lol nice, I like it when stuff is taken outside of expected context, like that one SS12 editorial with the hispanic gangster looking teenagers in Hakamas chilling by low rider cars or something, can't find it

>>8701477
The taschen book is one of the best beginners guide to yohji. But I agree with you about the online resources, you can compile a pretty similar scope with the interviews and numerous articles over the years.

After someone digesting, Yohji's biography is definitely worth reading.

>>8701478
She's in the PR / marketing department. I thought the girl on the right was another staff in the same department but I could be racist and think they all look a like.

>>8697081

>implying anyone wants to be like alex.....

>>8701571

That exhibition sounds incredible - held at GoMA I'm assuming? I'll have to check it out when I head up to visit family at Christmas.

>>8701575
I love that jacket he's wearing too, I was lookig everywhere for it... only got a hold of the cardigan version.

and I know the gangster shoot you were talking about. This one right? It was for arena homme+

that one! I remember the google alert when it first came out, so you would have gone to the first one, right?

>>8701571
definitly want to go. but all my SS is winter >_> so I'll prolly just be in hakamas the whole time

by the way does anyone know how to join the Yohji Tokyo illuminati? need to get some of those rare pieces, best I got is !Y and second-hand store in Tokyo.

>>8701662

What is this Yohji Tokyo Illuminati

For rare pieces, if you are ever in Japan then fly yourself out to Osaka and visit this store named LA GRANDE LUE, owner is some middle aged dude who has the most incredible archival of Yohji. His store has like every single one of the 6.1 The Men leather jackets and a bunch of other rare pieces. Wanted to visit but ended up not going :(

>>8701607
Yeah, it's at the GoMA, opens in November
>>8701660
Our Gallery of Modern Art is actually world-class, I've seen quite a few exhibitions there, they do great film screenings, even their bookstore is great - they had the Bless DVD last time I went, among a ton of other interesting things
>>8701662
Almost all of my Schneider is winter too
Wools in spring are fine though


So it looks like we're all meeting up at the Gallery of Modern Art

>>8701660
>Future Beauty: 30 Years of Japanese Fashion
shame it's all womenswear...

>>8701662
buy from the boutiques, talk to the people there, become friendly with them.

What is Yohji LQ? There are some things on Rakuten with this brand

>>8701662

Oh I know who you're talking about lol, these guys right? They are the store owner and his friends I was talking about in >>8701675. Osaka, not Tokyo.

I recommended the store to my friend when he went to Japan in May, apparently he was a super nice dude and my friend picked up a few pieces, one of which was from very early Yohji around '81 when the tags still said "Yohji Yamamoto Paris"

>>8701693
It's still going to be bloody amazing going off the pieces I've seen in the book and pieces I've seen other people post
I think there'll be some Sakabe and Undercover as well, we'll see

>>8701716

There were full Undercover looks from SCAB and Melting pot, prepare your anus

>>8701733
Yeah, I know about Melting Pot, they're featured in the book. Scab though... my body is ready
My scabbed sneakers should be ready by then as well

>>8701675
>>8701713
Yeah, lol, these guys, but also the buyers etc. wanna get invites to the occational parties at the aoyama store.
I don't spend enough time in Osaka :( it's all Tokyo or Fukuoka. but I have heard of LA GRANDE LUE, never been though :(
from what I've seen looks so great.
conflicted right now whether to save for another trip to Japan or buying more clothes.

>>8701693
I made friends with one of the guys from the Aoyama store、but I was buying just before I had to leave :(

>>8701683
yeah, sounds good. definitly be weraing the breeziest yohji I got. Brisbane hot and humid as fuck.

>>8701733
hyped.

>>8701716
oh yeah i'm not pooping on it, just wish there were mens pieces that I could gawk at. Womenswear is just high art to me, something I can appreciate but never emulate.

>>8701742

Are you a buyer for a retailer or something? Or just a fan who makes trip to Japan often

Yeah I'm thinking of the same lol, I really wanna go back so I'm gonna start saving up again

I sold my Hakamas and bought reissued SS13 Balloon pants with the money lol

>>8701763

Vivienne Westwood walking for YYPH

>>8701763

>>8701763

>standing on toes
>manlets

>>8701779
>>8701799

lol yeah it was to keep my face out of the shot

>>8701799
tinfoil is like 6'1"

prolly gonna put a couple of really nice pants up here soon for cheap if anyones interested keep an eye out http://www.grailed.com/users/myitems/2827-forever21

got some super old literally unworn pristine black wool gab ph pants and some olive drab cotton twill Ys pants with that severe taper for cuffing/rolling etc
outgrew both
prolly like close to a hundo-ish each

>>8701821

I am not tinfoil and I am around 5'11

Shit this thread has made me really want to get a Yohji piece. Better get a second job

>>8701763
nah, full time student (BA and B-eng). I make trips to Japan because I love it (weeaboo much >_>) and for language classes. have family there and friends.
do you spend most of your time in Tokyo? thinking of going feb next year.

good descision on the ss13, they look great. are they adjustable waist?
>>8701825
if you bought this one, I'm super jelly.

>>8701746
yeah, I get what you mean. really do wish there was more menswear in these exhibitions.

>>8701842

Ah I see, no I just made my first ever trip there this summer and now I really want to go back. Ideally I'd want to go around that time too so I can see SS15 stuff but I don't think I'd have enough money by then.

Yeah the waist is adjustable, so are the hems. They don't blow around in the wind / in motion as cool as the Hakamas though.

And no I actually found that full setup suit at a second hand store in shibuya for super cheap around 50000 yen but I had no money left ;_;

>>8701862
definitly go back.
those second hand stores are the best, I really love DC bank.
I remeber I went to the yohji flagship and the prices were (relativlely) so much more cheaper than I expected. I went nuts there.
Especially when it was sale time, spend all my money there that I had to beg at the station for a my fare to the airport.

>>8701908
>>spend all my money there that I had to beg at the station for a my fare to the airport
>>all money on Yohji
Mahfuckah got his priority right!

>>8701918
and that was me too. blah

>>8701908
begging for money in japan

lol what
social norms nigga

some big ass white American dude in drapey ass clothes demanding money sounds like world war II all over again

oh shit, didn't know America is that poor now, nigger prob works for Obama or some shit

>>8701926
lol. Australian, but no dif.
yeah, it was kinda fucked up. it was like 2500yen to Narita, and got some many dirty looks and I could hear the whispers.
worth it though.

>>8701946

next time try the 1000 yen Access Narita bus from Tokyo station, no need for advance tickets or anything you just look at their timetable and show up at that time, pay there and get on
