Paris fashion: Yamamoto's generous play on proportion
www.chinanews.cn 2006-03-01 16:34:32
A model presents a creation by Yohji Yamamoto during the presentation of
Autumn/Winter 2006-07 collections at the Paris fashion week 26 February
2006.
PARIS - Japan's Yohji Yamamoto on Sunday borrowed the staples of the male
wardrobe, took them apart and imaginatively put them back together again
for women next winter -- only oversized.
Cleverly playing with proportions for loose pants, coats and jackets, the
unconventional designer unveiled his ready-to-wear collection on the
opening day of a busy, eight-day Paris calendar.
He deliberately gave already wide or baggy trousers excess width at the
waist, a jacket hung off the shoulders or had sleeves that were too long
and a trilby was twice the size of the head.
But it all added up to a serenely sophisticated collection for
autumn-winter 2006-07 that was softly masculine and relaxed, with
laid-back music setting the tempo for the models' deliberate, steady
steps.
With plenty of other tricks up his sleeve, the master of form and
proportion rounded off jacket tails, draped a shawl from the shoulder or
to form one side of a coat, and created a kind of trouser-skirt fusion.
As well as his signature black, he offered school blazer burgundy and
navy stripes, vivid turquoise, milky white, army green or starkly ran
light into dark colours.
