Yohji Yamamoto’s spring 2002 collection was littered with prints which spoke to the designer’s mischievous side - a quality which has always simmered beneath the aesthetic he is known for. Yohji has seemingly never held himself to the same standard of gravitas, oft denying that he is an “artist” in the sense of a great musician or painter, and appearing uncommonly candid and cheeky in interviews throughout his career. When pressed on what further creative endeavors he’d like to pursue, he mused to i-D Magazine that he would like to direct porn. The psychedelic visuals of girls, flowers, and even sexualized pigs came from Saeko Tsuemura, a renowned Japanese brush artist who granted Yohji access to her archive shortly before passing away.

This zip shirt is the rarest iteration from the ‘LSD’ series, and was featured notably on the runway.
