# Color-Accented Noir Fashion Yohji Yamamoto's Spring/Summer 2019 Silhouettes are Oversized & Bold By Kalin Ned | Published 2018-06-22 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noir-fashion References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2018/6/yohji-yamamoto-menswear-paris-spring-summer-2019) & [yohjiyamamoto.co.jp](http://www.yohjiyamamoto.co.jp/) For his Spring/Summer 2019 presentation, Yohji Yamamoto evolves his [modern noir fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-tag-collection) to incorporate a wider range of style motifs, including some prints, patterns and vibrant colors. The loud accents truly make an attention-grabbing embellishment on the [deconstructed and slouchy silhouettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stein). From lengthy t-shirts and balloon pants to dual-colored double-breasted vests and chromatic lightweight trench coats, Yohji Yamamoto's noir fashion produces a memorable impact on the audience. Described as "the godfather of modern-day dark clothing," the designer's latest Spring/Summer 2019 collection truly makes strides within the fashion industry. The overall aesthetic of the garments contains a certain poetic quality that is expressed not only through strategic styling but also through the runway models' attitude on the catwalk.
