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.
