(FOR SALE) An Autumn Winter 2004 Yohji Yamamoto Pour Homme Alpaca “Burnt’ Knit Sweater.
Yohji Yamamoto’s interest in fashion peaked at an early age, exposed to the creation of garments through his mother’s work as a dressmaker. Yamamoto attended Keio University in 1966, not for fashion but instead to pursue a career in law. Shortly after his graduation, Yamamoto realized his heart was far more invested in fashion than pursuing a traditional career. Yohji Yamamoto asked to apprentice alongside his mother at the dressmaking shop, learning to sew from assistants and later joining Bunka Fashion College, one of the most esteemed programs for fashion in Japan. Maintaining relevancy and building his eponymous label for over fifty years, Yohji Yamamoto pioneered an avant-garde anti-fashion aesthetic, draping his signature noir looks with incredible detail to cut. To this day, Yamamoto remains one of the best active designers from generations past, continuing to perfect his craft.
One of the most iconic Yohji Yamamoto knit pieces of all time, this alpaca knit sweater has an incredibly soft composition, featuring a gray layering and fringed distressing along the black layer. Coming in a size 4 (extra large) this piece is in pristine overall condition with no flaws. Here is the opportunity to purchase a legendary Yohji Yamamoto knit from over two decades ago.
