YOHJI YAMAMOTO

Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto's unmistakable signature style is characterized by unusual silhouettes and a monochrome - mostly black - colour palette, spanning from minimalist elegance to a deliberately withered and deconstructed look. Hoop skirts, asymmetry and layered looks are among the key elements of his work, as are cut-outs, unusual fastenings and the use of only the highest quality fabrics.
