SS07 Yohji Yamamoto Draping Tassel Laced Black Tank Top

Yohji Yamamoto, nearly 50 years since establishment, still reigns as the king of black, monochromatic palettes. Provoking the anti-fashion movement throughout the 70’s alongside romantic partner and designer, Rei Kawakubo, Yamamoto has worked and succeeded in redefining contemporary fashion. In use of billowing silhouettes, the core constructs of the designer’s process ring true to his roots, compounding in development over decades of refinement. Yamamoto - still chief of design, continues to bring inventive, intriguing, yet distant walks atop the runway, garnering a cult-like following as a result of such.

 

Epitomizing Yamamoto’s technique, this black tank top showcases depth and movement through embellished laces. Draping from seemingly arbitrary positions, geometric detailing then forms within the cotton base, excess hanging delicately when worn. Minimal in the scope of loud graphics or palette, this piece speaks through meticulous design and alteration, meshing beautifully with Yamamoto’s catalogue. Tagged as a size medium, in pristine condition throughout.
