Yohji Yamamoto Pour Homme's AW 2020 collection, titled "PARTISAN," explored themes of rebellion and resistance. Reflecting Yamamoto's frustration with contemporary society and fashion, the collection featured unconventional layering, deconstructed tailoring, and heavy wool fabrics, expressing a powerful yet poetic sense of individuality.
This oversized knit features a striking blend of deep burgundy and black tones, with a chunky, loosely knitted texture and an irregular, asymmetrical silhouette. The distressed edges, extended hanging yarns, and exaggerated collar create a raw, unfinished aesthetic, reflecting Yamamoto's experimental approach to knitwear. On the runway, the piece was styled unconventionally over a tailored jacket, challenging traditional layering and redefining the relationship between knitwear and outerwear.
