When Yohji Yamamoto’s first collection was shown in Paris in 1981 – the same year as Rei Kawakubo debuted at the European fashion scene – he was unknown to the world. A few years before, he had worked for his mother, who was a dressmaker. The day after the show in Paris, Libération had the headline “French fashion has found its masters – The Japanese”. From that day on, Yamamoto and Kawakubo were famous. They had managed to break all the rules of fashion design and had melted the traditional silhouettes of Pret-a-porter. Similar to Kawakubo, Yamamoto sought to erase the form and its boundaries, only Yamamotos garments often appeared to be nothing more than mere layers of pitch-black cloth, instead of actual clothes. His looks seemed almost like enigmatic ghosts, that didn’t represent any specific period of time or looked like any recognizable figure. Yamamoto’s next target in his rage against the fashion refinement was the suit. The suit was the perfect statue of a rather conservative approach to fashion pret-a-porter, and furthermore, the suit is the most dominant clothing dress of human history. Once again Yamamoto sought to dissolve the usual shapes, fabrics, and cultural meaning of the suit. His take on the suit is a perfect artifact of the Yohji Yamamoto style, where every element of time and structure is dismantled and revised. With narrow shoulders and lapels, along with the said distressed silhouette that appears to be nothing but a shadow, Yamamoto challenged the conformity and the predetermined rules of the suit.
