Yohji Yamamoto

Yohji Yamamoto

Is he just a trainer designer or does he have his own label?

one of the greatest fashion designers there is... the y-3 trainers aren't his main line...

this thread is totally watsed here though.... go join fuk.co.uk

Good Point.

Who is he anyway?!

He's a japanese fashion designer... one of the biggest names of the alst decade - highly regarded by the fashionistas

He's probably most well known for the Y-3 sportswear he designs for adidas (not just trainers).

Some of his Y3 stuff is good, a lot of it is hit or miss imo. Think it is overpriced a bit aswell.

Saying that saw a wicked plain black tracksuit top the other week that I nearly bought.


Fake is still doing the best stuff at the mo imo, still think its gonna get more common which is a shame.

Fake peaked ages ago IMO, not my thing at all.

different strokes for different blokes I s'pose

What labels will be doing the biz in summer 2004?

in newcastle, all that silly bright colour hip hop wear will still be top banana, along with psuedo-mods

but elsewhere:

Comme Des Garcons
Bernhard Willhelm
jil sander
Junya Watanabe
Les Hommes
Xavier
Dries Van Noten
Raf Simmons
Helmut Lang
Dior Homme

still loving the y's for men line. rest is average imo.

i :heart: my y3 trackie top, it has become indespensible pubware item over the last year.

nice list there Joe, bar Comme des Garcons, most of those lines are just too plain/classic for me.

Is this the Adidas stuff they have in Strand?
Some of the clothing is well nice

yep

darkdrum, too plain/classic... blasphemy!!!!

so where can i buy this stuff and what prices am i looking at?

im desperate for some new tracksuit tops, stylish ones tho.. or other similar jackets or tshirts etc

well the Y3 tracksuit tops start from about £165.

Not cheap.

bargain.

gonna buy 3

yeah they're not cheap mine was £205 in the selfridges sale! :groovy:

classic items though, it's something that will never lose its style & appeal.

you pay for real quality.

fuckin hell i think im gonna have to stick to my lowly commoners brands!

hard to think that i sold my 1210 mk3d and im short on a tracksuit top!

there are some reasonablely nice re-issued adidas tops on this website. bit cheaper aswell.
