Fragments of 20th Century Fashion History: Yohji, Comme des Garçons, and More

"Mezurashī Hakken" (Rare Finds) – 20th Century Vintage Fashion – is a curated selection of exceptional pieces from Japanese designers who have shaped fashion history and continue to inspire stylish individuals worldwide.

The collection was meticulously selected by Lynn Yaeger, YOOX.COM's vintage curator, who, along with YOOX.COM, scoured auction houses and private collections globally. Each piece offers a glimpse into the pivotal moments of 20th-century fashion history.



The selection features rare works that mark significant turning points in contemporary Japanese fashion's journey to the West, including Kenzo Takada's innovative streetwear, Yohji Yamamoto's sensuous volumes, Issey Miyake's structured, architectural creations, Rei Kawakubo's Comme des Garçons with its modern irony, Junya Watanabe's avant-garde designs, and Kansai Yamamoto's reinterpretations of sportswear.

In conjunction with this launch, YOOX.COM's vintage selection has been revamped. The online space, curated by Lynn Yaeger, will showcase valuable vintage pieces from the most revered houses, including clothing and accessories, for collectors and fashion enthusiasts.
