Yohji Yamamoto’s Puffer Revolution Gets Practical

Yohji Yamamoto Fall 2025 menswear show takes winter dressing into fresh territory without abandoning its functional heart. Reworking familiar silhouettes, the label introduced streamlined puffer jackets that feel more like finely quilted armor than bulky outerwear. Sharp lines kept the shape modern, while subtle patterns—think hazy brushstrokes—added a sense of mystery. It’s an approach that respects the cold but refuses to sacrifice style, echoing Yamamoto’s reputation for fusing artistry with real-world needs.

The runway also offered cargo pants that could pass for ski gear, with pieces that flipped from city-ready to snowbound at a moment’s notice. Models huddled together to show off reversible coats, turning them inside out and pairing them with fresh combinations. This immersive display spotlighted the versatility embedded in each garment. Though Yamamoto is no stranger to deconstruction, his reinterpretation of classic city suits as rugged outerwear felt particularly on point. Olive and burgundy shades grounded the lineup, and a final parade of fluid, glossy fabrics channeled the movement of water.

Another standout was Yamamoto’s decision to cast everyday people instead of the usual model brigade. He recently stated he’s “bored with the conventional fashion week ones,” a sentiment that underscores his boundary-pushing spirit. Beyond this collection, the brand has hinted at further experiments within its ongoing Y-3 collaboration with Adidas, continuing to blend elegance with performance elements. It’s all part of Yamamoto’s ability to reinvent staples and entice us to see them anew: purposeful, transformative, and right in step with the moment.
