Noah Cyrus, Offset And Laidback Layering At Yohji Yamamoto Spring/Summer 2024
Dark and delicious.
For those willing to look more closely at the little details underneath the surface, Yohji Yamamoto has always been the brand of choice. A man of few words, the Japanese designer has always said everything he needs to say via his collections, and this latest offering examines the depths of darkness. Of course, the designer's affinity for black was prominently displayed throughout the collection; but what was most intriguing was the propensity of layering, used to maximal effect. (A more-than-average amount of outerwear for the Spring/Summer season, if you ask us.)
But collections which explore multiple layers of meaning are Yamamoto's specialty. And mystery and intrigue are usually the name of the game for his brand. The designer's trademark silhouettes were splayed across the array of coats, button-downs and trousers on offer, disguised by layers upon layers of ornamentation; models donning oversized flannels and scarves walked the runway with stone-faced expressions. Yet despite the eerie facial illustrations and... feet prints?, the collection was anything but somber; the suiting and shirting on display felt fresh, innovative and new, fitting of a designer who favours the avant-garde and the simplicity of elegance.
