The Imperfect Dandies of Yohji Yamamoto’s Spring-Summer 2024 Menswear Show
The whistling air of a cowboy on the run spanned through the venue as the models parade in a minimalist setting that highlighted their singular silhouettes. Yohji Yamamoto’s fashion show exuded a baroque-like atmosphere that only the Japanese designer knows how to create.
More than a collection, the designer’s proposal is a genuine journey through time. A voyage that defies the laws of time via looks featuring deconstructed bowler hats, military coats, and three-piece ensembles embellished with brooches of all kinds or strangely fascinating prints. Overtly disregarding fashion trends, Yohji Yamamoto keeps on developing an elegance of his own, best embodied in this dandy-like silhouette that gracefully stands the test of time.
This Spring-Summer 2024 season, the designer brings back his signature style in a palette of grey and blue hues, accompanied by dragonflies or sometimes even by the iconic safety pins, which made a comeback in XXL size and delicately pierced the garments… Chic but make it gloomy!
We spotted Offset, Alyy Space, Jules Koundé, Noah Cyrus, Miguel and Sam Worthington.
