I should have expected no less from Tilda..<BR/>Suzanna: I don't think there are too many women who could pull it off, but as you say, it worked because of the wearer. <BR/>As for Yohji, I'm not exactly tall or slender and I've worn skirts like that (though not even a hundredth as expensive) often enough- it can work. The rollover at the waist made me wonder if he was trying to recall the schoolgirl skirt-shortening tactic- you know, roll the waistband over. It felt a bit like that..<BR/>ENC: I got stuck on the Details page for this at Style.com for ages...I totally see what you mean.<BR/>Stephie: I agree with you- I like that setting-off!<BR/>X and Y: Whatever, I'll just pinch your cheek the next time I see you (note to everyone: X and Y is a real-life friend who openly tells me my blog sucks. But I'm very fond of him despite that). <BR/>Elisabeth: I know, but somehow it hasn't happened here. <BR/>Susie: I reckon it might not be universally lovable, but the collection as a whole is something I really liked. It's just the look, I guess..<BR/>Dreamecho: I'm flattered! But it <I>was</I> a real soother for me..I've never been much of a fan of supersexy clothing either, so this suits me to the T (assuming I could have it, of course).<BR/>Riz: Balenciaga was pretty excellent, I agree with you there. And taking black beyond the one-note uniform aspect is something that Yohji does really well, it could have been flat but it isn't.Blue Floppy Hathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13924517166595597734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999120180171025160.post-31783620632609758192008-02-28T18:57:00.000-08:002008-02-28T18:57:00.000-08:00Dream - I too love that line!

Indeed Balenciaga is a highlight of Paris for me...It is amazing the kind of potential Yohji always sees in black - i mean he always seems to draw so much out of it...rizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09889071198159171775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999120180171025160.post-17171487568536470892008-02-28T17:01:00.000-08:002008-02-28T17:01:00.000-08:00"Yohji Yamamoto is balm to my soul." you have suc..."Yohji Yamamoto is balm to my soul." <BR/><BR/>you have such a way with words....<BR/><BR/>i love yohji's work as well; the archetypal sex kitten and prissy ladies of milan is SO not my thing.dreamechohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15007230675813294550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999120180171025160.post-79726762366680336332008-02-27T04:53:00.000-08:002008-02-27T04:53:00.000-08:00There is a consistency to Yohji that I will always...There is a consistency to Yohji that I will always have respect for... even if I don't entirely love the collection...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999120180171025160.post-9636766453123292322008-02-27T04:12:00.000-08:002008-02-27T04:12:00.000-08:00Black is a colour that so many people get so wrong...Black is a colour that so many people get so wrong. <BR/><BR/>Gorgeous collection!Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18402970096192316260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999120180171025160.post-60578341441547984152008-02-27T03:09:00.000-08:002008-02-27T03:09:00.000-08:00So maybe black *isn't* all that boring.

Which sort of worked considering the wearer, but reminded me of similar distortion in Renaissance paintings; reason unknown.<BR/><BR/>Yohji--the slim of hip can pull this off brilliantly.
