YOHJI YAMAMOTO

Yohji Yamamoto is a Japanese designer who reshaped fashion in the 1980s with his oversized silhouettes and uncompromising vision. His Paris debut in 1981, shown alongside Rei Kawakubo, marked a radical shift that challenged Western ideals of beauty. Alongside his main line, he has developed sublabels such as Y’s and Y’s for Men, each carrying his fusion of Japanese aesthetics and Western tailoring that continues to shape global style.
