Yohji Yamamoto FW25 Is Deconstructed Perfection
The Japanese designer took over the historic Hôtel de Ville in Paris and continued exploring deconstruction ignited during his menswear collection earlier this year.
Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto took over the historic Hôtel de Ville in Paris tonight to showcase his beautifully deconstructed Fall/Winter 2025 collection. The expert craftsman expanded on similar themes from his menswear collection presented in January, exploring deconstruction, layering, and fabric manipulation to connect with his inner child.
As Chappell Roan, Michèle Lamy, and JID sat on the FROW awaiting commencement, delicate instrumentals filled the air, and the first look quickly made its way down the runway. Clad in Yamamoto’s signature all-black styling, pinstriped trousers were reshaped into high-low skirts secured by leather rope, paired with a sheer turtleneck top and a flowy leather jacket. Next, coats were flipped upside down and knotted with excess fabric, while dangling cables swallowed additional designs built with triangular paneling.
Purple was the color of the season for Yamamoto, revealed on reconstructed car coats and strapped boots packed with movement. Leather and wool fabric samples clung to a makeshift dress on metal hoops, highlighting the designer’s deconstructed perfection. The collection continued with leather corsets, ruffled gowns, and frayed outerwear before wrapping up. Finally, several models roamed the runway in simple black coats, pairing up to assist each other with care for a wholesome finale.
