Yohji Yamamoto

Yohji Yamamoto is a Japanese fashion designer based in Tokyo and Paris. Since his debut in 1981, he has become a titan of avant-garde fashion, world-renowned for his mastery of draping, oversized silhouettes, and an almost exclusive use of the color black. His designs are described as "intellectual" and "poetic," often challenging gender norms and traditional beauty standards. Beyond his main label, his long-standing Y-3 collaboration with Adidas has defined the modern "sport-luxe" category, offering innovative footwear and apparel.
