The intersection of avant-garde Japanese tailoring and K-pop royalty has officially materialized. Yohji Yamamoto’s edgy conceptual project, WILDSIDE Yohji Yamamoto, has joined forces with G-Dragon’s influential label, PEACEMINUSONE, for a striking capsule collection that bridges dark silhouettes with mid-century graphic subversion.
Celebrating PEACEMINUSONE's 10th anniversary, this unexpected pairing showcases how two distinct design titans can merge their worlds without diluting their signature identities.
A Clash of Eras and Aesthetics
At first glance, the collection heavily leans into the moody, flowing structures intrinsic to Yohji Yamamoto's universe. However, upon closer inspection, G-Dragon’s penchant for vibrant, disruptive graphics pierces right through the darkness.
The capsule is headlined by a curated selection of statement pieces:
The Leather Jackets: Offered in classic black and deep, vintage-washed brown, these jackets maintain a deceptively minimalist front adorned with subtle PEACEMINUSONE branding. Turn them around, however, and you are met with bold mid-century advertising-style illustrations—featuring retro pin-up models juxtaposed against PEACEMINUSONE’s iconic daisy motif.
The Long Black Coat: A masterclass in stealth styling. While the exterior presents a traditional, wide-lapel Yohji Yamamoto silhouette, the interior tells a completely different story. The white inner lining is fully printed with the collaborative pin-up and daisy artwork, complete with a crossed-out "10th Anniversary" marking. The lookbook playfully encourages wearing the coat inside-out to let the hidden graphics take center stage.
The Oversized Pink Tote Bag: Breaking up the heavy palette of black and brown leather, an oversized bubblegum-pink leather tote injects a vibrant splash of color. Stamped with light-blue anniversary lettering and the baseline WILDSIDE signature, it serves as a casual yet striking counterpoint to the outerwear.
Deliberate Imperfection
What makes this collection particularly compelling is its rejection of clean, corporate celebratory tropes. By stamping items with a deliberately crossed-out "10th Anniversary" text, PEACEMINUSONE and WILDSIDE lean into a narrative of raw, imperfect evolution. It’s an artistic statement that honors a decade of cultural impact by tearing up the rulebook and rewriting it with vintage flair and heavy leather.
