For Spring/Summer 2007, Yohji Yamamoto explored the power of words and the allure of ambiguity. With The Godfather soundtrack setting the tone on the runway, the collection channeled the charisma of American gangsters—sharp, enigmatic, and iconic. Jackets and shirts were reimagined with integrated braces, breaking conventions with tailored rebellion. Words like “suspended”, “suspect”, “suspicious”, and “suspicion” appeared as prints, adding layers of meaning and tension to the silhouettes.
