I haven’t been a fan of Yohji Yamamoto before as his punk-themed collections were not my style at all. But for Spring/ Summer 2012 the designer created much lighter and feminine pieces. One of fashion critics who attended his show supposed Yamamoto might be in love.

The opening look of Yohji Yamamoto Spring/ Summer 2012 collection was fantastic. A simple blue jersey gown featured an amazingly long train – nearly the runway long – with a huge hat finishing the outfit. Other pieces were less dramatic but more elaborate. Capes with pleats, multilayered dresses, boleros with unusual puffy sleeves, shirts with torn sleeves, and even color blocked dresses – all looked stylish and interesting.

Hats were the only and few accessories but they made the collection unique and memorable. Flat shoes, sneakers and laced boots made the footwear of Yohji Yamamoto Spring/ Summer 2012 collection. Even the bride that closed the show was wearing a pair of sneakers.
