SS14 Yohji Yamamoto ‘Eat My Ass’ Overdyed Sleeveless Tank-top

Yohji Yamamoto’s Spring 2014 collection was said to explore the designer’s perceptions of a ‘lonely nomad’. However, missing from the runway was an incredibly unique piece, plagued with kinky lettering and an untold side of Yamamoto’s traditional design philosophy. The infamous ‘Eat My Ass’ tank top came as a shock to many, opposing the seasoned designer’s roots in shadowed elegance, silhouette and construction. Much like the Spring 2002 ‘LSD’ button-ups, he strays from any sort of normalcy, begging onlookers to, for lack of better words, munch the wearer’s behind. While humorous, these oddities from such established Maison’s are true rarities in the archive field, surfacing once in a blue moon and subsequently skyrocketing in value.

 

Debuting in the Fall of 2014, this tank-top reads of a plea to ‘Eat my ass’. Among two other lines, the poem(?) instructs onlookers to “Eat me” and “Eat my fingers”, atop an overdyed black sleeveless tank. With such a tempting offer, this top is sure to impress, especially on family vacations, dinners and first dates. Tagged as a size large, this piece is in pristine condition throughout.
