YOHJI YAMAMOTO

"With my eyes turned to the past, I walk backwards into the future”, said the enigmatic Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto in 2011, summing up the ethos behind his long career of breaking fashion boundaries in the name of creativity. Since his first collection in 1977, he has restlessly sought to discover new ways of dressing the human body. Yamamoto has never wavered in the pursuit of his passion: achieving anti-fashion through fashion. Yohji Yamamoto men's fashion transforms classic menswear through Japanese minimalism, from deconstructed blazers in luxurious wool to understated accessories that challenge Western tailoring codes.
