Y's Yohji Yamamoto Clothing for Women

I wanted to protect the woman's body from something 'maybe from men's eyes or a cold wind.' Founded in 1977, Y's is the original line of the renowned Japanese designer, Yohji Yamamoto. With Y's, the designer's original vision remains clear: clothing that brings a masculine aesthetic to womenswear through the use of precise silhouettes and avant-garde tailoring. Despite being a masterful tailor, Yamamoto often uses careful and concise drapery to create deconstructed silhouettes that disguise, rather than display, the female form. The result is clothing which balances innovative style with functional design, with practicality key to the designs.
