Due to following the emotional trends I found people are more interested with mystics these days. Based on the Yohji Yamamoto brand & the demand of trend aspirations, I created a ‘mystical’ concept for my womenswear collection. From the visual part to description, I will stay the deconstruction aesthetics from Yohji heritage, incorporating the brands style code & ensuring the mystic inspiration as personal inspiration. The key aspects of the collection will come from brand research & analysis. Also, appropriate the gothic style that trying to skip from my usual design's 'safe zone area'. In another hand, I took he most favourite words to establish my concept: asymmetric, contradiction, immoral, destruction & so on. As a designer as Yohji Yamamoto, I am focusing on the womenswear collection. The fashion trends examined that the deconstruction garment is more popular in the years. The black, white color as the typical symbol as Yohji always in classic & these colors never out of fashion industry. The silhouettes of Yohji are designed to be Avant-grade & is typically defined as deconstruction where garments appear to be unfinished, raw, falling apart, & above all, imperfect. One of my key inspirations is separated to different pieces & costumers could wear their garments in a variety of different ways to approaching the slow fashion. The collection will be lined with Yohji style codes & related with my own personal inspiration. For examples, the sharp silhouettes, the gothic layering, the deconstruction separated pieces & so on. To reaching people the unique way of wearing an outfit. The unique fabric & materials are the keys of my aspect. I am trying to find more different fabric that both related my inspiration & Yohji aesthetic. The collection will be using some hand stitch skills to embroidery on the garment. The pattern cutting for this collection used collage & draping concepts, matching the two different sides making it feel more ‘contradiction’.
