"YOHJI YAMAMOTO +NOIR" 21SS Drape panel design oversized shirt jacket

We will be introducing iconic pieces from Yohji Yamamoto + NOIR, who made their Paris Collection debut in 1981 with a collection that, along with Comme des Garcons, was hailed as the "shock of black" by its prominent use of black, a colour that was taboo at the time.

This is a masterpiece that is minimalist yet has an intentionally silent presence. The quiet black wool exudes a sense of tension that can be felt even without touching it, and a structural beauty that emerges only when stripped away.

The 21SS season is a collection that is more clearly conscious of "looseness" and "tranquility," and the underlying aesthetic of lightness and shadow is strongly reflected in this masterpiece. The use of supple wool gabardine, a material that is light and soft yet has precision in its tailoring, gives it an air unique to 21SS, achieving a coexistence of a cool feeling in the height of summer and a neat impression.

While the silhouette appears to follow the style of an authentic jacket, the bold draped panels on both sides of the waist quietly invite movement, and the deliberate asymmetrical look creates a sense of space between stillness and movement. The back is decorated with decorative buttons along the yoke, giving the garment a sense of tension and humor all the way from the back.

Also, keeping in mind the theme of "lightness that emerges through layering" specific to the 21SS season, this masterpiece has also been designed to be worn like a shirt and also function as a jacket, highlighting Plus Noir's characteristic experimental nature of giving multiple meanings to a single piece.

For styling, try pairing it with black wide pants with tucks or a long skirt made of softly swaying cupra material to create a lingering silhouette. For your feet, subdued leather shoes or minimal slip-ons go well with it, and by adding a sheer top or silk-blend shirt underneath, you can create a fashionable yet introverted and beautiful strength without being overly assertive.

Please take this opportunity.
