Yohji Yamamoto

Founded  in Tokyo in 1981, Yohji Yamamoto quickly became known for its avant-garde tailoring, sculptural silhouettes, and radical use of black.

Renowned for blending intellectual rigor with emotional depth, Yohji Yamamoto’s collections continue to challenge norms, merging artistry with wearable innovation.
