Need an honest vibe check on this archival Yohji piece
Hi everyone,
I recently picked up this Yohji Yamamoto jacket. Its a piece from the Fall/Winter 1996 women’s runway i think. It’s a stunning garment, and I managed to snag it for an incredible price.
However, I’m having some second thoughts about the silhouette. The jacket has a very pronounced nipped-in waist and a hourglass shape. While I’m usually comfortable wearing genderless or unisex clothing, my family has pointed out that it looks verry "feminine" on me.
Here is my dilemma:
Im not trying to make a specific gender statement. I try to think beyond the binary entirely. I want to style this as a kind of dystopian uniform, or more like body architecture.
Does the cinched waist work for a dystopian, avant-garde look, or does it lean too far into traditional feminine tailoring?
