Fierce Feminized Menswear

The Yohji Yamamoto 2012 Spring Line Has Billowing Shapes & Unique Hues

While the majority of bottoms worn by the models walking down the runway look like skirts and dresses of various lengths, they are actually pants, trousers and shorts boasting especially wide legs. The Yohji Yamamoto 2012 Spring/Summer collection boasts a series of unusual silk trousers and shorts that feature billowing skirtlike qualities.

Another noted feature of the Yohji Yamamoto 2012 Spring/Summer collection for men is the palette of colors and patterns used. From floral to geometric to honeycomb, the collection is sure to make a splash during next year's warm weather season.
