WILDSIDE YOHJI YAMAMOTO × Kié Einzelgänger Vol.5 Collaboration Collection

Get ready for an exciting fashion moment this September 20! The renowned conceptual project WILDSIDE YOHJI YAMAMOTO is set to unveil its fifth collaboration with Kié Einzelgänger. The new collection will be available on the WILDSIDE online platform, as well as at select physical locations including WILDSIDE YOHJI YAMAMOTO OSAKA, HARAJUKU, and in the Yohji Yamamoto store at Hankyu MEN'S TOKYO.

Launch Details

This eagerly awaited collaboration, known for its edgy and conceptual design approach, merges the creative visions of WILDSIDE YOHJI YAMAMOTO and Kié Einzelgänger. It will kick off at 12 PM on the day of the launch, exclusively through their online platform.

Innovative Design Features

The highlight of this season's collection features three distinct shirts, each incorporating the unique design element of 'suspender ties' which blend Asian and European influences. These clearly showcase the theme of ‘shared experiences,’ embracing cultural and gender boundaries while creating unisex styles that adapt seamlessly to various body shapes.

The fabrics used are predominantly rayon, known for their soft drape and comfortable wearability. The shirts not only focus on aesthetic appeal but also offer versatility in styling due to refined details.

Unique Styling Options

One notable design is a shirt with straps that can be adjusted. By tying the straps, it creates a feminine outline; loosening them transforms the piece into a more masculine silhouette—a perfect blend of experimental and practical design philosophy.
