Vintage Yohji Yamamoto Y’s ‘Horse Hide’ Belted Leather Jacket

(FOR SALE) A Vintage Yohjij Yamamoto Y’s Horse Hide Belted Leather Jacket 

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.
