A true Grail from Yohji’s early collections—perhaps the most powerful and significant piece, not only within its specific season, but in the entire history of fashion involving Cyrillic text. This long coat features a loose, enveloping cut and is crafted from a textured blend of cotton and linen in a dusty, earthy tone. The material possesses a pleasant weight and that noble, signature wrinkling characteristic of the master’s early works. Deep buttoned slits along the sides allow you to radically alter the dynamic of the silhouette when walking and experiment with intricate layering. The centerpiece remains the iconic text print in Cyrillic, reflecting on the acceptance of age, melancholy, and the beautiful poetry of fading away. A piece of genuine museum status. The only known owner of this exact coat hunted for this model for over three years, and even then, it was a stroke of unbelievable luck. This marks only its second market appearance in over 25 years. A single active offering worldwide, preserved in ideal condition for its age.
