Yohji Yamamoto Opens Residency at Just One Eye in L.A., Featuring Limited-edition Items
Following the opening of his New York “concept” store at 52 Wooster Street in 2023, Yohji Yamamoto — the Japanese designer known for his avant-garde and conceptional designs — has expanded in the West Coast with a residency at Just One Eye, the highly curated fashion and art boutique in Los Angeles.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better partner than Just One Eye, whose values align so closely with our own — from an unwavering commitment to the integrity of fashion and innovation, to a shared sensibility for the arts. This collaboration feels like the perfect synergy, and we are thrilled to introduce it to the Los Angeles community,” the brand told WWD in a statement.
