Yohji Yamamoto Cotton-Linen Elasticated Shorts

When Yohji Yamamoto staged his first show in Paris in 1981, he helped usher in a new era of fashion with evocatively draped garments set in the deepest hues of black. His eponymous label continues to enrapture with such qualities, as seen in these shorts; woven from a blend of cotton and linen, its easy structure is exemplified by an elasticated waistband.
