Launched in 1972 by Yohji Yamamoto, Y's is the designer’s first and most personal brand, rooted in his desire to create men's clothes for women. Based in Tokyo, the line serves as the practical and philosophical core of his work, predating his more experimental mainline collection. Y's is defined by its focus on functional, dignified ready-to-wear that explores the space between the garment and the body through masterful pattern-making and a predominantly black palette. Signature pieces include oversized wool gabardine coats, asymmetrical shirts, and wide-leg trousers that reject conventional, form-fitting silhouettes.
