Yohji Yamamoto Spring 1999 Fashion Show (full pt.3) 

The humor comes from the scenarios showing stereotypes within the higher class. The humor also comes from the way he executed very classic designs. As a person who studies clothing construction, the changing of a hoop skirt to something inflatable is funny because took the meaning very literal, something that poofs up a garment, and so it made it less technical and more comical. It doesn't seem that significant now but for 1999 it was very against the grain for a show. And the designs themselves show the layers of a person, like the stereotypes you first see and then the rawness you see in the last layer. The contrast of the first dress as oppose to the last one show how couture can also alongside ready-to-wear thus showing how Yamamoto wanted to make the higher class and lower class to be more on the same playing field.
