Yohji Yamamoto Femme 1996AW Docking Wool Knit Jacket

Yohji Yamamoto FEMME 1996AW is a Paris-presented womenswear mainline collection characterized by fluid silhouettes and functional design. It featured notable pieces such as long wrap skirts in wool gabardine and knit dresses, incorporating elements of menswear tailoring to express an image of independent femininity. As one of the defining collections of the 1996–97 Fall/Winter season, it stood alongside Comme des Garçons in shaping the mode scene of the time, and is now regarded as a highly valued and rare archive in the vintage market.

This item is a jacket constructed from a combination of wool, linen, and nylon, creating a distinctive hybrid design. The mix of different materials around the waist area, along with the open-collar front structure, gives it a refined and visually striking look.　It features a double-breasted design, as well as a back belt, adding both functionality and character. While the color palette remains relatively understated, the unique construction and patterning make it a piece that can be appreciated through its intricate design elements.　Due to its age, the wool shows signs of wear, and there is a small hole of approximately 0.5 cm in an inconspicuous area.
