Excerpt: Yohji Yamamoto. Spring/Summer 2026 - Paris Fashion Week
"...1980s fashion of the 'Armani suit'. That being power, sex and hedonism, a far cry, yet also correlating to the shared excesses of the era, from Yamamoto's avant garde, deconstruction of couture, born out of late 1970s and early 1980s countercultures, where the budding floor trader of a Wall Street firm goes on a date with a Manhattan gallery owner, he's wearing the Amrani, she wears the Yohji Yamamoto, asymmetrically cut, stylised black, drapey linen dress, and yes, they have sex later that evening. Such was the era.
