"Y's" 94AW sharp lapel cut design double-breasted jacket

We are pleased to present some precious archive pieces from Y's, the first brand created by Yohji Yamamoto in 1972, which is based on the concept of women wearing men's clothing.

The dark wool surface catches the light quietly, and the wide lapels and deep diagonal lines at the front give this masterpiece a moderately modern look.

The lapel gorge is positioned slightly lower to increase the surface area, and the shoulders are held in a relaxed, straight line, creating space around the face while adding density to the chest.The eight evenly spaced buttons on the front create a rhythm, and the sharp diagonal hem makes the overlapping look light.

The flap pockets are set low, drawing the eye downward and further emphasizing the vertical lines of the body. The fabric is a tightly woven, dry-touch wool that prioritizes strength over drape, so when fastened, the silhouette stands out like a board, and when open, the fabric creates architectural shadows. The inside is fully lined, allowing the sleeves to slide smoothly, making it an attractive piece that pairs beautifully with everything from lightweight knitwear to shirts.

The fact that it dates back to Autumn/Winter 1994 gives this piece a definite added value. In the mid-90s, Y's was more clearly committed to balancing the practicality of everyday clothing with the structure of fashion, and it could be said that this was a time when they were updating the gender-neutral "black for work."

The exaggerated lapels, deep flares, and diagonally cut front hem of this piece are a way of injecting a sliver of poetry into the strictness of a uniform, neatly embodying the concept of the time of heightening the tension of the design while stripping away ornamentation. In other words, the appeal of this era is that the Y's philosophy, which is expressed through proportions rather than logos, can be directly connected to today's wardrobe.

In terms of styling, pairing a turtleneck with a maxi skirt or high-waisted slacks and finishing with Chelsea boots creates an elegant combination of the texture and sheen of the fabric. Also, tucking a thin silk scarf inside the lapel with just the tip peeking out will elegantly evoke the atmosphere of the 90s with a modern feel.

Please take this opportunity.
