nouvelle collection de lunettes YOHJI YAMAMOTO 2014

T H E  E Y E W E A R  L A U N C H

Since 1972, Yohji Yamamoto has been spreading his revolutionary, ever widening sphere of influence. 

Driven by his desire to create anti-fashion through fashion his designs are avant-garde, yet timeless.

Renowned for blurring the boundary between fashion and the arts, 

he has influenced theatrical and cinematic fashion, and his work has been exhibited worldwide.

The Yohji Yamamoto eyewear collection takes inspiration from his original three-word brief: 

“Dramatic, Avant Garde and/or Intelligent”

The result is an intriguing collection of spectacles and sunglasses 

that are at the same time challenging and glamorous; avant-garde and original.

This beguiling collection investigates reconstruction through deconstruction. 

Is an exploration in depth of colour and an expression of Yamamoto’s rebellious spirit, his love of form, his skill in fit and cut. 

“Black is modern and arrogant at the same time. Black is lazy and easy – but mysterious” 

Yohji Yamamoto

Indeed, the collection’s palette has been developed exclusively with Mazzucchelli and reflects Yohji Yamamoto’s clothing: 

dark, sombre shades that look black at first glance, but with further examination reveal multiple layers of dark colors 

that together create a richness in color that black alone cannot supply.

Monochrome lenses have been developed with Christian Dalloz to perfectly match the bespoke acetates, 

creating a style that is as distinct as it is desirable.

“With my eyes turned to the past I walk backwards into the future.”

Yohji Yamamoto
