Y's
In the early 1970's, Yohji Yamamoto created Y's, his first line. The first show ran in Tokyo, 1977. The collection for women reflected typical men's garments, as the clothes were cut in uncluttered shapes with washed fabrics and dark colors. These clothes expressed a functional elegance and sobriety that Yohji Yamamoto would reaffirm a few years later with Y's for men.
Today, Y's and Y's for men have taken their place as practical, day-to-day wear beyond the bounds of fashion and shifting trends.
Yohji Yamamoto
In 1981, Yohji Yamamoto presented his first Yohji Yamamoto collection in Paris and in 1984, he followed with his first Yohji Yamamoto pour Homme collection.
Fabric is always the foundation of his design and the superposition of clothing is what best defines his silhouette
Yohji Yamamoto's style was destructured and ample at the beginning, evolving through time into a more structured, fitted silhouette in a spirit of couture -with- a- twist.
Yohji Yamamoto + Noir
This collection is based on classic and timeless pieces of the Yohji Yamamoto line. Each season a part of the collection changes, while the other part remains the same.
Yohji Yamamoto +Noir is almost entirely black with an unusual punctuation of bright colours.
