How do you identify Yohji Yamamoto?
To identify Yohji Yamamoto, look for the designer's label on the necks of dresses and tops and the waists of bottoms. You can find images of the various labels used by the luxury maker online. To learn more about your piece, locate the series of numbers at the top of its wash tag. The first characters represent the collection of apparel, with “M” representing Y's, “H” standing for Yohji Yamamoto Pour Homme and “F” denoting Yohji Yamamoto Women’s pieces. The next set of digits contains a letter code that tells you the seasons from which the garment originated. For example, an “H” usually means the Spring/Summer 2019 collection. You can find a full listing of these codes in online databases. Explore a variety of Yohji Yamamoto apparel and accessories on 1stDibs.
