WILDSIDE YOHJI YAMAMOTO Reimagines Japanese Iconography in Exclusive Drop

by

Wildside Yohji Yamamoto, an innovative offshoot of the renowned Japanese fashion brand, shines light on its profound respect for Japanese culture through the release of a special collection dubbed “The Japan Edit.” This unique assortment aims to honor the fusion of traditional aesthetics and contemporary subculture. Simultaneously launched is a new campaign featuring worldwide shipping at no extra cost and an exclusive gift for early purchasers. The collection serves as a daring demonstration of the brand’s cultural heritage, with time-honored symbols reinvented into stylish works of art.

Leading the way is a new edition of the “Hannya” rayon shirt, a notable release from WILDSIDE’s popular collaboration with RYU GA GOTOKU STUDIO, which is known for Sega’s “Like a Dragon” series. The “Like a Dragon” series is a thrilling action-adventure developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio based in Japan. First introduced in 2005, the franchise offers an enticing peek into the dark underbelly of 1988 Japan and the exciting nightlife. The shirt captures the intense emotion of Japan’s underworld with its black-on-white printing technique that vividly portrays the twisted Hannya mask on the back and sleeves in intricate detail. Priced at $700 USD, this item seamlessly bridges the gap between gaming memorabilia and high-end fashion by showcasing a flowing silhouette and elegant finish.

Accompanying the collection’s attire are unique canvas bags, crafted in collaboration with the traditional Japanese brand ICHIZAWA SHINZABURO HANPU from Kyoto. Renowned for their century-old craftsmanship, ICHIZAWA contributes its minimalist and durable aesthetic to a navy and black tote bag priced at $300 USD and a stylish crossbody shoulder bag costing $240 USD, both featuring Yohji Yamamoto’s signature. This combination represents a harmonious blend of practical elegance inspired by local tradition, now tailored for urban fashion worldwide.

The unique T-shirt collection by WILDSIDE, available exclusively in Japan, incorporates a more lighthearted, visually striking design approach. These 11 tees ($90 USD each), available online at WILDSIDE’s website, feature intriguing imagery such as kabuki actors amidst skulls, maikos adorned with bone sashes, and wild leopards drawn in Ukiyo-e style. Each design offers a fresh, innovative interpretation of classic Japanese symbols. The collection embodies WILDSIDE’s distinct blend of edgy defiance and cultural reverence.
