"Yohji Yamamoto POUR HOMME" 13AW Tuxedo vest fake layered design shirt

There is a stain on the top of the bottom button

We will be introducing iconic pieces from Yohji Yamamoto POUR HOMME, who made his debut at the Paris Collection in 1981 and whose collection, along with Comme des Garcons, was hailed as the "shock of black" by the public for its fully emphasizing black, a colour that was taboo at the time.

This masterpiece, with its impressive structured fake layering reminiscent of a tuxedo vest, was featured in Yohji Yamamoto's POUR HOMME 13AW collection and is an extremely rare piece that incorporates the aesthetic sense of tailoring into the format of a shirt.

A matte black vest with a concealed front is sewn into the front of the white shirt to blend in with it, and the design has a strong verticality at the center of the body, giving the whole style a sense of tension along with visual sophistication. The sharp V-shaped cut towards the hem is a homage to classic dresswear, but when combined with the round hem with a difference between the front and back, it creates a contemporary look that seems to embrace both stillness and movement.

The 13AW season is known as one that questioned the essential strength of men's clothing through repeated "construction" and "deconstruction," and this piece truly embodies that idea, and by sneaking in the vocabulary of dress codes into the everyday garment of a shirt, it brings out the wearer's physicality more sharply.

The fabric is based on the firm cotton that is characteristic of Yohji Yamamoto, with a slight wool-like texture used for the vest part, so the contrast of the materials accentuates the three-dimensional effect even more, and the high level of perfection that allows the piece to be completed on its own without needing to put on a jacket is its appeal.

This is a masterpiece that strongly embodies the ideas of Yohji Yamamoto and is recommended for those who are attracted to the beauty of form that lies in the details, those who want to bring the aesthetic of dress into everyday life, and those looking for a shirt that can make a statement on its own.

As for styling, you can enjoy the beauty of a design where classic and modern meet by pairing midnight-tone wide slacks with long boots with a subdued sheen or solid leather shoes. It also makes a great inner layer, and by combining it with a minimalist long coat or stand-up collar outerwear, you can create an intelligent look that exudes from within.

Please take this opportunity.
