"[Similarly to] Yohji Yamamoto, who expresses black is lazy and mysterious, Rick Owens uses black as a definition of defiance (his work as a whole is all about defiance which as a result creates exaggeration). But for me, black is just so easy to wear. Black clothes drown out your flaws and make your body look like a pure silhouette. Black also gives off maturity and simplicity. Even when you wear crazy shapes and cuts, black makes the outfit more mellow." - Enoch Fu

All Black Minimalist
Yohji Yamamoto is a renowned Japanese fashion designer known for his avant-garde and innovative approach to fashion. His work has had a significant impact on the industry, and his influences are multifaceted: Yamamoto's designs are deeply influenced by traditional Japanese aesthetics, particularly the concept of "wabi-sabi," which appreciates imperfection, simplicity, and the beauty of the incomplete. This influence is reflected in his use of asymmetry, drapery, and monochromatic color palettes. Yohji Yamamoto emerged in the fashion scene during a period when Western fashion trends dominated Japan. The minimalism of an all black outfit, favors simplicity, clean lines, and a muted color palette. His minimalist aesthetic emphasizes the essence of a garment, allowing the everyday on-looker to focus on the form and silhouettes.
