Resurrection is pleased to present a Yohji Yamamoto black long skirt from 2001, an understated yet deeply considered exploration of volume, proportion, and restraint.
Rendered in a structured yet fluid black textile, the skirt is defined by its full, sack-like silhouette—falling away from the body with a quiet sense of ease. The generous volume creates a sculptural presence while maintaining the softness and wearability that underpin Yamamoto’s design philosophy.
The front is clean and minimal, with a subtle button closure integrated into the waist, allowing the form to remain uninterrupted. In contrast, the back introduces a drawstring fastening, an element of functional adjustability that also lends a gentle gathering to the waistline. This interplay between tailored precision and casual utility is emblematic of Yamamoto’s approach.
A softly asymmetrical hemline adds dimension and movement, dipping slightly to create an irregular rhythm as the garment falls. The fabric holds its shape while responding to motion, producing a silhouette that feels both grounded and dynamic.
Devoid of embellishment, the piece relies entirely on cut, proportion, and material to communicate its intent—an exercise in reduction that elevates the everyday into something quietly poetic.
A refined example of early 2000s Yohji Yamamoto, this skirt captures the designer’s enduring ability to balance structure and freedom within a singular, contemplative form.
