"REGULATION Yohji Yamamoto" 2015AW Striped oversized shirt dress

"REGULATION Yohji Yamamoto"
2015AW estimated oversized striped shirt dress

From REGULATION Yohji Yamamoto, which translates the aesthetic sensibility that symbolizes Japanese fashion into a more everyday wardrobe, we are pleased to introduce a distinctive piece with a restructured design.

Built on a classic striped shirt and tailored into a relaxed balance with an airy feel as a long shirt dress, this piece is notable for its light sense of tension.

The fine stripes, with bright blue running across a white ground, maintain a clean, shirt-like presence while the white contrast panels placed at the collar and cuffs create a crisp interplay. The linear structure created by the front button opening, together with the long length that extends to the back, emphasizes vertical lines—resulting in a silhouette that remains elegant and well composed despite being oversized.

The material composition is listed as 52% cotton (main fabric), 47% designated fiber: TENCEL, 1% polyurethane, and the contrast fabric is 100% cotton. The refreshing coolness of the cotton is complemented by TENCEL’s supple drape and a subtle sheen, and the inclusion of a slight amount of stretch helps the generous volume typical of a long shirt feel effortless rather than heavy—allowing it to form a natural drape that follows the body’s movement.

The size is 1. With a longer overall length than a typical shirt and additional room through the body width, the relaxed silhouette makes it suitable to wear as a single shirt dress. It also works beautifully when worn open at the front as a light layer—offering the kind of practical balance and fashion sensibility that is characteristic of REGULATION Yohji Yamamoto.

Regarding the period, based on what can be confirmed—REGULATION under the collar, the red cursive Yohji Yamamoto notation, the contrast fabric tag stating MADE EXPRESSLY FOR Yohji’s PEOPLE, the quality label’s product code FJ-D52-805, and pre–new JIS-style washing instructions, along with the Japanese quality display by Yohji Yamamoto Co., Ltd.—this appears to have been produced after REGULATION began in 2013 and before December 2016, when it transitioned to the new ISO labeling. Taking into account the interpretation of the season code within the product code, it can be presented as an archive piece from around the 2015AW season.

While the refreshing color palette of blue and white is not only about cleanliness, the way the fabric drapes and the distribution of its volume change quietly with the wearer’s movements means it is especially recommended for those who want to incorporate Yohji’s thoughtfully spacious clothing into everyday life, and for those who wish to enjoy the timeless, universal item of a shirt with a slightly more special balance.

For styling, it looks beautiful when paired with slim black trousers to highlight the vertical line. Adding wide pants and leather shoes can also give the clean stripe impression a more fashion-forward depth. For women, it can be worn as a shirt dress; for men, as a long shirt or an outer layer—regardless of gender, this is a distinctive piece that can be integrated freely.

We would be delighted if you would consider this opportunity.
