Yohji Yamamoto
Yohji Yamamoto loves women and loves to cover them up, and the award-winning Japanese fashion designer describes himself as a ‘tailor’, which explains the nature of his collections, which dispense with accessories and colours. Yamamoto stands for timeless elegance, far removed from trends.
Yamamoto's fashion is regarded as an intellectual status symbol by the creative and fashion-conscious. Contemporary sportswear and traditional clothing become postmodern streetwear chic. Many describe Yamamoto's fashion as menswear for women - flat shoes and plain to no make-up mixed with elements of military uniforms.
