Yohji Yamamoto

Award-winning Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto has always favored the nontraditional.

Yamamoto’s designs are known for their futuristic shapes and unique mix of the masculine and feminine, sensibilities that spill over into his own life. His long timeline of exploration nudges us to lean into flexibility and curiosity. Who knows — we may even discover a new part of ourselves in the process.
