excerpt: Yohji Yamamoto's Fall/Winter 2026/2027 - Paris Fashion Week

 

"...Yamamoto's Fall 2026 collections is certainly one of his most stylized showing of late, in lieu of deconstructed Japanese aesthetics, akin to the Kimono, wrapped around, insulated and protective styles.  With the early 1980s Avant-garde evidently intact for this collection, more so the sleek Tokyo looks, to the New York City art gallery curator who adorned Yamamoto and his partner at the time Rei Kawakubo stylizations as the new cool.  The 80s fashion experimentation, in off of its defining pre-1970s hedonism, is on show for Yamamoto's latest collection. 

Also note is Edo-period artist and one of the most recognizable outside of Japan, Katsushika Hokusai artwork, via prints and shapes seen of some of the outfits, further encapsulating Yamamoto's homage to his roots, more so his grounded inspiration of Japanese creative history.  

A beautiful, and ethereal collection from the master."
