Yohji Yamamoto

Dark, dramatic, esoteric, avant-garde. These are only a few words to describe the aesthetic of Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto. Yamamoto opened his first boutique during the ‘80s in Paris, and though designers like Thierry Mugler were de riguer at the time, Yamamoto turned the fashion world upside down with his daring deconstructionist looks, and his subversive style continues to have a cult following to this day. The designer’s overwhelmingly monochromatic offerings are minimal yet elegant, and feature expert tailoring, relaxed silhouettes and a heavy dose of leather.
