RUNWAY: Limi Feu Spring 2010

Edited by Kirby Marzec

If Limi Feu’s Spring 2010 doesn’t have Japanese style written all over it, I don’t know what does. Daughter of designer Yohji Yamamoto, Limi Yamamoto certainly followed in her father’s footsteps this season with a collection that was more androgynous than a kid on Christopher Street (She even used male models to heighten the sense of androgyny in the womenwear!) Yamamoto exaggerated basic menswear with elaborate lapels and sleeves, brining yet another version to the trend. But I must say, the shoes, mostly masculine oxfords and booties, stole the show.

Runway Rundown: Limi Feu

Edited by Rebecca Alexander

Limi Feu is Limi Yamamoto’s (Yohji Yamamoto’s daughter) collection. Feu means ‘fire’, and this is her third collection, which is shown in Paris. The designer’s pieces are stark, strong, visual, and filled with street attitude. The Spring/Summer Limi Feu girl is superbly individualistic, highly ignorant of other people’s opinion, and generally cooler than the entire human population.

One of my fave elements; the over-sized pockets (especially above) that make it seem as though you are carrying a bag.  Also, LOVE the hair, braided to look like headphones, absolutely genius!
