About Yohji Yamamoto

Founded by Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto, the brand has long been regarded as one of the most influential voices in avant-garde fashion. Known for challenging conventional tailoring and redefining silhouette, Yamamoto introduced a radically different perspective to fashion—one that prioritises emotion, movement, and individuality.

In Wim Wenders’ biographical film on Yohji Yamamoto, the designer revealed Austrian portrait photographer August Sander as an important inspiration behind his menswear silhouettes. The result is a distinctive aesthetic characterised by oversized forms, weathered textures, and elegantly relaxed proportions that have shaped many Yohji Yamamoto collections.

A defining element of Yamamoto’s work is his use of black, a colour that has become synonymous with the brand. Yamamoto famously described black as “modest and arrogant at the same time,” and also as “lazy and easy, yet mysterious.” This monochromatic approach reinforces the brand’s intellectual and emotional depth.

Throughout his career, Yamamoto has also championed androgynous dressing, designing garments that transcend traditional gender conventions. Both the Yohji man and Yohji woman embody independence, instinctive style, and freedom from prescribed fashion rules.

Today, Yohji Yamamoto remains a cornerstone of avant-garde luxury fashion, continuing to blur the boundaries between clothing, philosophy, and art.

Brand Philosophy:

  • Fashion as artistic expression rather than seasonal trend
  • Rejection of conventional dress codes and gender norms
  • Oversized silhouettes that prioritise movement and individuality
  • Monochromatic design centred around the expressive power of black

Key Product Categories:

  • Conceptual tailoring and architectural outerwear
  • Draped dresses and layered silhouettes
  • Relaxed trousers and oversized shirts
