About Y’s
Founded in 1977 in Tokyo, Y’s was the first label established within the Yohji Yamamoto universe and remains one of the most important expressions of the designer’s philosophy. Before the launch of the Yohji Yamamoto main line in Paris, Y’s served as the platform through which Yamamoto began developing his distinctive approach to silhouette, tailoring, and gender expression.
Yohji Yamamoto once described his intention simply: “When I started making clothes for my line Y’s in 1977, all I wanted was for women to wear men’s clothes.” This concept remains central to the identity of the brand today. Y’s garments reinterpret traditional menswear tailoring for women, resulting in relaxed silhouettes, layered proportions, and clothing that prioritises movement and individuality.
While rooted in the same conceptual DNA as the Yohji Yamamoto main line, Y’s is distinguished by designs that are generally more approachable, wearable, and practical. The pieces maintain Yamamoto’s signature aesthetic—fluid tailoring, monochromatic palettes, and thoughtful structure—while offering versatility suited to everyday wardrobes.
Today, Y’s continues to represent the core spirit of Yohji Yamamoto: clothing that values function, proportion, and personal freedom over seasonal trends.
