I'm so glad this is online. One of my top 3 favorite fashion shows. Also, Shalom did the finale for this show and the iconic McQueen "spray painting robots" one in the same season!
yes, need some imagination to perceive his design.Yohji designs the path for a woman's life.The creamy wedding gown:Starts with lingerie long dress, implies the sexual relationship. The crinoline may imply the spaces for fun, as well as the emptiness of her heart. The slippers: she wants to get grounded. Then she takes out the coat: a woman does not want to expose her body anymore, she wants to transcend the sexual relationship to a secured one. The hat means the shelter, a home. The boguet means the decoration of a home. Finally the gloves........the dish washing and the..... laundry for the family members.
The humor comes from the scenarios showing stereotypes within the higher class. The humor also comes from the way he executed very classic designs. As a person who studies clothing construction, the changing of a hoop skirt to something inflatable is funny because took the meaning very literal, something that poofs up a garment, and so it made it less technical and more comical. It doesn't seem that significant now but for 1999 it was very against the grain for a show. And the designs themselves show the layers of a person, like the stereotypes you first see and then the rawness you see in the last layer. The contrast of the first dress as oppose to the last one show how couture can also alongside ready-to-wear thus showing how Yamamoto wanted to make the higher class and lower class to be more on the same playing field.
this show makes me so emotional. yamamoto is a genius
