Okay, so, I’ve been diving deep into fashion lately, and you know how you sometimes stumble upon these iconic figures? Well, I got totally hooked on Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s style. And it led me down this rabbit hole of exploring some of her favorite designers, including Yohji Yamamoto.
My Deep Dive into Carolyn and Yohji
First off, I started by just looking up pictures of Carolyn. I mean, her wedding dress? Legendary. That’s where I first saw the name Yohji Yamamoto pop up. I was like, “Who’s this guy?” So, I started digging.
I watched a bunch of old runway shows of Yohji Yamamoto. His clothes are so… different. Not the usual stuff you see. I mean, it’s mostly black, and flowy, but it looks so cool and effortless. It is easy to understand why she loved his clothes.
Putting Things into Action
Inspired, I wanted to find one of his pieces to try on. I searched through many online shops, and finally I found a vintage dress by Yohji Yamamoto that was similar to what Carolyn might have worn. I immediately bought it. It’s a simple black dress, but the way it’s cut is just…wow. It’s so elegant, but also kind of edgy.
When the dress came in the mail, I tried it on right away. It felt amazing. Seriously, I felt like I was in one of those old black-and-white photos. It’s hard to describe, but the dress just moves with you. It’s like it has a life of its own.
Wearing the Dress Out
I decided I had to wear it out. I wore it to a friend’s art gallery opening, and I got so many compliments! People were asking where I got it, and I got to share my whole Carolyn and Yohji story. It was so much fun.
I felt so confident in that dress. It was like I was channeling some of Carolyn’s elegance. And it made me realize how much I love this kind of minimalist style. It’s not about being flashy, it’s about feeling good in what you’re wearing, you know?
What I’ve Learned
- Experimenting is fun: I never thought I’d be into vintage fashion, but here I am, loving it.
- Good design is timeless: This dress is probably decades old, but it still feels so modern.
- Confidence is key: When you feel good in what you’re wearing, it shows.
I definitely want to explore more of Yohji Yamamoto’s work. Maybe I’ll even try to find more vintage pieces. And I’m keeping an eye out for more style icons like Carolyn. There’s just something so cool about people who have this unique sense of style.
So yeah, that’s my little fashion adventure. Hope you enjoyed hearing about it!
