I found Limi Feu while browsing around style.com and was instantly attracted to the free layers of it all (despite the structured balloon cage skirts towards the end of the collection.) I also loved the large clown boots and the sort of "freed" menswear silohuettes, as if everything was taken out at the seams and made larger. The blazers, button down shirts, ties, trousers. It was all loose and free.
I did a little more research on Limi Feu and found out she was the daughter of Yohji Yamamoto, a fairly well known name. I wanna say that her designs are sort of a mix of Comme Des Garçons, Yohji Yamamoto (of course), Devi Kroell, Ann Demeuleester, Philip Lim, Rick Owens and finally, I find traces of Chanel. Haha. Basically anything black and blazer-y, with cream mixed in, is what this collection reminds me of, yet altogether creates its own shwing.

I totally agree with your description of her design style - it reminds me of several designers and yet it remains individual
This post is amazing!
Great description of her style. I really loved all the structure in this collection. The hair headphones kind of creeped me out though. haha
They're kind of ugly and I kind of love them. Black and white is always good. Those cage skirts are epic.
Yes, those cage-hoop skirts are insane! Highlight of the collection for me.
the cage skirt, she made it so urban, and yeah i LOVE this collection.
some of those are amazing! diffrent wich i like
Ye, I saw it on style.com myself the other day, I'm totally into the headphones!
I like the last one to the right.
Great post!
Yohji's daughter's designs look a lot like...Yohji's. It's be way cooler if she designed in colour or do something crazy that Yohji never would have done instead of just following in his footsteps.
I love how there is structure!
