fantasy web find of the day: Yohji Yamamoto dinner jacket $650
fantasy web find of the day: Yohji Yamamoto dinner jacket $650

When I look at pieces by Yohji Yamamato, I always think of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, whose predilection for the sculptural Japanese designer was well known. She would emerge, invariably, clad in black and/or white Yohji, red lips, and New York blonde hair, her husband on her arm. Her style was so classic, and yet, by choosing Yohji, it was also subversive. Nice. This gorgeous long jacket, tailored to absolute perfection, looks simultaneously East and West. I love the collar, the bell sleeves, the flaps in the back—such unstinting attention to detail, but in the simplest ivory fabric. It's not even lined. It's a statement piece, so I'll leave it to you to decide how to wear it, but I think it ought to be worn with a slim grey pencil skirt and nude pumps (or with cobalt blue and black, or with olive and tan, or with red and plum). Or, if you're lunching in summer sun, just the jacket, a pair of jeans and a pair of gorgeous embellished sandals. It's at yoox.com, discounted from $812.
