Yohji Yamamoto Y’s Embroidered Reversible Bomber Jacket

A natural-born feminist, Yohji Yamamoto, was raised exclusively by his widowed mother, Yumi. Yohji had never met his father, having passed away in combat in World War II. Growing up as the son of a dressmaker, Yamamoto noticed subtle injustices in the industry and various disadvantages that gender played on the success of his mother’s craft. After attending law school at his mother’s request, he realized that his passion was deeply embedded in design. He attended the Bunka Fashion College from 1966 -1970 and began his entry-level line of basics, entitled “Y’s,” in 1972. Later in his career he teamed up with Rei Kawakubo in a collaborative effort of deconstructed deigns. He presented his first womenswear collection with her in 1981 in the fashion capital of Paris, France. From the very beginning, Yohji wanted to make mens clothes for women. In an interview in 2011, Yamamoto stated, “I jumped on the idea of of designing coats for women. It meant something to me - the idea of a coat guarding or hiding a woman’s body. I wanted to protect the woman’s body from something - maybe from men’s eyes or a cold wind.”


This black bomber jacket features a velvet exterior with a large graphic stitching into the center of the back. The reverse side of the jacket is a clean satin finish with a YKK front-zip closure.

Shoulder: 17in
