Y's Yohji Yamamoto Boots for Women

Y's is the first brand of the Parisian-based, Japanese designer, Yohji Yamamoto. With his original collection, Yohji Yamamoto sought to create attire according to his vision of functional yet elegant daywear for contemporary women, seeking to bring a masculine aesthetic to womenswear. The designer achieves this through careful study of silhouettes that balance volume and proportion, through the use of avant-garde tailoring and more traditionally Japanese style. This same adherence to a more androgynous ideal can be seen in the designer's collection of boots, which exude a functional and masculine feel, while still retaining a sleek and elegant silhouette.
