Yohji Yamamoto’s design employs red and black topstitching on muslin to replicate the look of basting stitches, while the loosely draped, asymmetrical overlay in black cotton furthers the illusion of a work in progress. Yamamoto’s inspiration for this collection came from his study of toiles by another great designer, Charles James.
