Havana nights

Te pictures below are from the Spring 2009 collection for Yohji Yamamoto which debuted in June 08.

The use of older men and men of various shapes adds so much character to the clothes, and showcase the fact that anybody can wear his clothes and look fantastic. The young faces can all start looking generic, but when you have a designer like Yamamoto who likes to push the boundaries, your models need to have that sense of life and a story to them as well, which has been achieved by casting the models used below.






I know that many of these pieces will not be liked by everyone but they do embody Yamamoto's avant-garde spirit, as he is not afraid to push boundaries. He has combined modern dressing with a 1950's feel which really works for me.
I'll post pictures of his women's collection as well.
