Yohji Yamamoto’s style was dubbed “post-atomic fashion” by the press because of the irregular cuts and wide slashes in his clothes. From 1983, Yamamoto fashion, began to influence catwalks in the West and around the world. As early as the mid-1980s , he was recognized by his fellow artists with the title of “master.”

“Style is the art of mixing, valuing and aesthetically governing what one loves. For my part, I like to associate with maker chic what I go to the flea market to find. Choosing is our ultimate freedom. Wearing the clothes of certain designers is like changing lives. When someone says to me, “Yohji, I wish to wear your clothes,” I say, “Be careful, don’t trust it. It’s not that simple.”
