Yohji Yamamoto Pour Homme SS94 Archive Western Shirt in gently used condition

Condition: 8.5/10

This is an exceptional piece from the Spring/Summer 1994 collection, representing the designer’s reinterpretation of classic Americana workwear through his avant-garde lens.

Rare Yohji Yamamoto SS94 deconstructed western shirt in crisp white cotton. This piece showcases Yamamoto’s fascination with utilitarian American garments, reimagined with his signature architectural detailing and refined Japanese craftsmanship.

The standout feature is the intricate pleated detailing that radiates diagonally across both chest pockets—delicate knife pleats create dramatic linear movement from the pocket edges, functioning as both structural reinforcement and pure sculptural expression. This pleating technique transforms traditional western shirt construction into something entirely conceptual, characteristic of Yamamoto’s mid-90s exploration of volume and dimensional surface treatment.

Additional details include dual flap chest pockets with button closures, elongated shirt tail hem with asymmetric curved construction, classic pointed collar, full button front closure, and gathered cuffs. The oversized, relaxed silhouette reflects the decade’s shift toward looser proportions while maintaining elegant drape.

This piece exemplifies the 1994 collection’s dialogue between American frontier functionality and Japanese deconstruction—a museum-quality example of Yamamoto’s ability to honor and subvert traditional garment archetypes simultaneously.
