In situations where you prefer to remain nameless, your nom de guerre is Patty Thirst; your pen name, Gertrude Beer Stein; and your screen name, Margarita Hayworth.
So raise a glass to Yohji Yamamoto’s new diffusion line of streetwear, Coming Soon. The edgy Japanese designer is doing this one incognito, using an embroidered white circle in place of any reference to his name.
But Yamamoto’s signature is all over the inventive cuts. Inspired by the freedom of the ’60s and ’70s, high-rise, wide-leg trousers sit alongside knitted tanks with tails, ribbed thermal-look leggings, and sloppy linen blazers.
Accessories, meanwhile, come in the form of chain and leather suspenders.
Also known as awesome.
