YOHJI

What is there that hasn't been said about Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto besides just applauding him for his work.

The fashion world was introduced to Yamamoto in 1981, launching his line.

Sticking to a color palette that is dark. His collections are full of  charcoal tones and very few splashes of color. His designs are full of drapery, the models strut the runway like visions of abstract art. 

Some of his collaborations include Hermes, Mikimoto, Adidas Y-3 and artists such as Elton John.

We can all agree that Mr. Yamamoto's is one of the most influential designers of our time. Always ahead of the curve, Yamamoto sticks to a design aesthetic that is for the avant garde at heart.

Fashion Director of Barneys New York, Julie Gilhart couldn't have said any better about Mr. Yamamoto's influence "Probably the only designer you could name who has 60-year-olds who think he is incredible and 17-year-olds who think he's way  cool."
