Yohji Yamamoto Drawings offers a rare, comprehensive look at the creative process of one of fashion’s most radical icons. Curated by Alexandre Samson alongside Yamamoto, this official collection features previously unpublished menswear and womenswear sketches rendered across diverse surfaces, from fine sheets to scrap newspaper. Tracing his journey from Tokyo dressmaker to global pioneer behind Y-3 and legendary cinematic wardrobes, the book frames these expressive illustrations not just as preparatory drafts, but as an essential window into Yamamoto’s singular vision.
