For Spring/Summer 2026, Yohji Yamamoto POUR HOMME continues to write its own rules. The collection traverses familiar territory—deep blacks, oversized layers, and raw edges—but injects them with unexpected softness. Tailoring is loose and deconstructed, often wrapping the body with an ease that feels almost accidental. Shirts are twisted, sleeves are elongated, and trousers pool around the ankles like puddles of thought.

Romantic flourishes—lace panels, floral embroidery, and hand-drawn motifs—temper the severity. There’s a quiet rebellion in how masculinity is reframed: not through power, but through fragility, asymmetry, and poetic intent. Some models walk barefoot, reinforcing the raw honesty of the presentation, while others don headpieces or veils, lending a theatricality that hints at vulnerability.

In true Yamamoto form, the garments resist categorization. They move freely between genders, seasons, and expectations—anchored only by the designer’s unwavering commitment to black as both color and concept. The result is a collection that feels like a whispered conversation in a noisy room—unexpected, sincere, and defiantly beautiful.
