Yohji Yamamoto 2009SS Blazer draped silhouetteA blazer from Yohji Yamamoto, the Tokyo house founded by its namesake designer, who has served as its sole creative director since the company's incorporation in the early 1970s. The piece dates to the Spring Summer 2009 collection, a season during which the house continued under Yamamoto while the company underwent financial restructuring.
