The Yoshio Kubo Fall/Winter 2016 collection recently graced the stage at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Tokyo and consisted of eccentric menswear pieces that were inspired by nomadic and indigenous garb.
In addition to its handmade wool vests, capes and coats, this collection also consists of tapestry-themed sweaters that are paired with winter-ready outerwear staples. Some other standouts from this Yoshio Kubo range include paint-splattered pieces that are inspired by utilitarian workwear.
