Gallery Labels
Although made for a woman, this jacket employs many of the customary elements present in men's suits. Yamamoto’s emphasis on androgyny is purposeful. He rejects the idea that women’s clothes should display the female body by never endorsing the figure-hugging silhouettes revered by some of his peers.
