For his return to the physical show at the Paris Fashion Week, Yohji Yamamoto presented a Spring/ Summer 2022 collection themed about the current global warming crises.
Open necklines, bare arms, shoulders exposed and for the first time miniskirts appears on the runway.

«I even showed a mini, my first time ever. It’s my response to global warming».
In order to face the climatic change, the collection is made with natural fibers such as linen and cot- ton which brings lightness and a more casual spirit.
 |
For the Spring/Summer 2022 it’s a back to black with only few white and silver touches. The collec- tion is focused on the shapes, and draping:
«Black is fundamental to me. I don’t need help from color. All I need to do is cut.»
 |
Revisited trench coats, bustier dresses, cut-out leggings and long opening dresses are suggestions on what to wear for the upcoming hot summers. The finale shows a trio of deconstructed crinolines, as wide as the runway itself, crisscrossed with metal bars.

Beyond the collection, Yohji Yamamoto expresses his feelings by singing himself on the soundtrack of the show.
