Ys

About Ys

Y's is the line through which Yohji Yamamoto expresses his design language in a more subtle, everyday form. It sits in a category of its own, fusing orthodox tailoring principles with idiosyncratic pattern making to produce functional, dignified clothing for daily wear. Particular care goes into cut and silhouette, texture, and the amount of space left between the body and the garment, giving pieces a considered, practical quality rather than a directly experimental one. Described as practical, high-quality prêt-à-porter, Y's offers a quieter route into Yamamoto's core identity, built around wearability as much as design.
