Yohji Yamamoto for sale on 1stDibs

The avant-garde Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto has said, “dirty is good.” These three words capture the eccentric designer’s love of a dark and disheveled — yet dapper — look. A master tailor with a distinctive style, he creates everything from coats and jackets to day dresses and evening gowns.

Yamamoto was born to a World War II widow in 1943. By the time he was 26, he had a law degree from Keio University and a fashion degree from Bunka Fashion College. In 1969, he won two Japanese fashion awards — the Endo Award and the Soen Award — which included a round-trip ticket to Paris. 

It was in the French capital that Yamamoto realized the fashion world was changing. A casual aesthetic was replacing formal and classical sensibilities. He soon set up his first label — Y’s — and embarked upon designing heavy-duty sportswear.

Yamamoto launched women’s collections in 1977 in Tokyo, in 1981 in Paris and in 1982 in New York. Their pieces loosened the traditional female clothing silhouette in favor of shapes more typical of menswear: simple cuts, minimal details and generous proportions. In 1983, the New York Times wrote, “Yohji Yamamoto may stand barely five feet tall, but his effect on world fashion in the last two years has been enormous.”

In 1984, he made his first foray into men’s fashion under the Yohji Yamamoto label. In 1994, he was awarded the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Minister of Culture and, in 2002, he became the creative director of Adidas’s Y-3.

Yamamoto’s fashion has been the subject of exhibitions around the world, including “May I help you” in 2002 at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris, “Correspondences” in 2005 at the Gallery of Modern Art in Florence, Italy, and “Painting and Weaving Opportunity” in 2017 at Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery. In 2017, he received the DFA Lifetime Achievement Award.

Questions About Yohji Yamamoto
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024
    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.
