This three-piece Yohji Yamamoto ensemble from the 2000–01 collection exemplifies the designer’s signature approach to dark elegance, layering, and architectural tailoring. Rendered in black, the set includes a structured jacket, a long skirt, and a detachable velvet scarf with drawstrings and integrated pouch details, offering both visual depth and functional versatility.
The jacket features Yohji Yamamoto’s characteristic sharp yet fluid tailoring, with elongated lines that create a refined, sculptural silhouette. Subtle shaping through the waist and shoulders lends structure without rigidity, allowing the piece to move naturally on the body. The long skirt extends the columnar line, balancing the jacket with a restrained, minimalist finish that feels timeless and deliberate.
The velvet scarf adds a dramatic, textural contrast to the wool blend base of the jacket and skirt. Designed with drawstrings and soft pouch elements, it can be styled in multiple ways—draped, cinched, or layered—transforming the look from understated to expressive. This multifunctional accessory reflects Yohji Yamamoto’s ongoing exploration of modular dressing and garments that invite personal interpretation.
Crafted from a luxurious blend of wool and nylon, with velvet detailing, this set is a rare and cohesive example of early-2000s Yohji Yamamoto, merging tailoring, softness, and conceptual design into a singular, wearable statement.
