Today, Yoshiyuki-san was wearing a spectacular pair of jeans printed with an aerial map of Paris (they also come in London and Tokyo variants). They weren't shown on the runway, but they were part of a collection that was inspired by landscapes seen from the sky, or viewed rushing by through train windows. More specifically, it seemed to be the British countryside that shaped what we saw. Maybe that was just because the soundtrack, provided by the live-mixing genius of the Open Reel Ensemble (Google them!), started with "Scotland the Brave" and proceeded in a Celtic swirl. But the first outfits definitely featured glen plaid. The color-blocking that came later was equally evocative of the multicolored fields of the U.K.'s cultivated agricultural terrain. Collages of diagonal stripes looked like a deconstructed tartan.
