We were surprised to see Norman Reedus modeling in the Yohji Yamamoto menswear show in Paris- and looking quite comfortable in the off-beat designs. We did NOT realize that Norman started out his career as model! So we looked for his old modeling photos and found this one taken before he covered his beauty mark with facial hair.

It IS fashion week and this Yohji Yamamoto dress is a heart-stopper. It’s a combination of Victorian detail and futuristic dreaming. Why are Japanese designers so rarely seen on red carpets like MTV or music award shows? Are they TOO outrageous or do the Japanese simply NOT bribe celebrities the way French designers do? Janelle Monae is a perfect candidate for Yohji designs. Years ago, we actually saw Diane Keaton wearing an extravagant black Yohji outfit while shopping at the Rose Bowl flea market in 90 degree weather! Way to be noticed!
