In his Autumn/Winter 2007 collection, Yohji Yamamoto collaborated with the estate of Shotaro Ishinomori, creator of the iconic manga series “Cyborg 009,” to infuse his menswear line with bold, graphic elements. This partnership resulted in garments that juxtaposed traditional tailoring with vibrant manga-inspired designs, creating a dynamic fusion of classic and contemporary aesthetics. A standout piece from this collaboration is a knit sweater featuring a striking jacquard depiction of “Cyborg 009” protagonist Joe Shimamura. Marked as a ‘SAMPLE’, it showcases a relaxed silhouette with dropped shoulders and ribbed cuffs, embodying Yamamoto’s signature avant-garde style. The intricate knitwork not only pays homage to Ishinomori’s artistry but also adds a textured depth to the garment, making it both a wearable piece of art and a testament to the seamless blending of fashion and graphic storytelling.
