Dear Shaded Viewers,
Yohji Yamamoto's show was simply beautiful and a real pleasure to watch. Working with oversized shapes and neutral tones, he focused on pleats and clean lines, which reminded me of classic school uniforms. The long shirts, pleated skirts and trench dresses were simply stunning, as well as the thick knitwear looks he put out on the runway. Accompanied by a mellow soundtrack of American classics, the show felt like an ocean of calm in the middle of the storm.
Best,
Philippe
