Yohji Yamamoto’s 2025 Spring/Summer Collection blends timeless elegance with contemporary sensibilities. Featuring intricate fabric manipulations, the collection uses natural materials and bold hues like vermillion and red to evoke creation and destruction. This season’s pieces empower the wearer, combining fragility and strength in a perfect harmony of past and future.
Yohji Yamamoto’s 2025 Spring/Summer Collection, available from January 11, continues to offer timeless fashion that empowers the wearer. The Paris-presented collection combines classic elegance with contemporary sensibilities, featuring natural materials like cotton, ramie, and silk, and a color palette of black accented with bright gray. Key elements include lace, knots, and geometric patterns, with standout pieces in vermillion and red that symbolize creation born from destruction.
The collection showcases intricate fabric manipulations—knotted, torn, and reassembled—evoking a sense of fragility and empowerment. A live piano performance by Pavel Kolesnikov, paired with Leonard Cohen’s You Want It Darker, complemented the dark, dreamy atmosphere during the show at Paris Fashion Week in September 2024. Despite the collection’s experimental nature, with unconventional fabric arrangements and voluminous silhouettes, pieces like a white lace dress with a gauzy pinstripe exuded sophistication.
Yamamoto described the collection as playful yet challenging, inspired by youthful experimentation. His ability to merge simplicity with complexity continues to captivate, reaffirming his place as a visionary designer. The collection, available in-store and online, offers a Yohji Yamamoto collections 2025 Spring/Summer PHOTO BOOK with exclusive photography by TAKAY for early customers.
