UA×discord Yohji Yamamoto｜ In search of beautiful essence that resonates comfortably in the sound of disconciliation

Stay the rebellious spirit in black.
Accessories line expressed by Yoji Yamamoto

Black Shock-It's a new mode expressed by Yoji Yamamoto, who debuted in Paris Collection in 1981. It means rebellion and rebellion, and based on black, which was taboo in fashion at the time, he presented a sensational style with elaborate cutting and a unique volume silhouette that covers the body black. It overturned all common sense and established ideas and brought innovation to fashion as a "black shock." "diskord Yohji Yamamoto" is a new value presented by Yoji Yamamoto through luxury accessories. "Last year, I had the opportunity to wear a Y's Sukajan and shoot with my son (Nijiro Murakami). I usually work in the field in Canada, and I live with my mother's face, so I don't wear high-brand clothes, but when I wear it, I'm "cool!" And it feels very straight. The quality is high and I don't get tired of it. And there is always an edge somewhere. When I wear clothes that Mr. Yoji makes, I feel very much better. Y's started in 1972 when I was born, and the brand has grown as old as the same. When I wear it, I always feel that I can get WAVE, and after all, I respect Yoji's clothes are amazing," says UA.

Diversity and individuality, strength and inconsistencies.
Universal aesthetics that dwell in the unconventional sound

The term "diskord" used in the brand name means "unconsisting sound." At the Shibuya PARCO store, the interior expresses the “unfinished and asymmetric aesthetic” at the core of Yoji Yamamoto's creation, as well as the hidden beauty unique to Japan. The white box inside the store is inspired by the stone structure of a Japanese garden. The box, which is stacked like a stonework, acts as a "background" that complements the bag. The reversible shoulder bag "INFIITE", which can also store the A4 size personal computer that UA holds, has three shapes by rearranging the dot button on the handle. A bag made based on the pattern making of clothes, like a high-quality clothes naturally born with wrinkles wavy on the drape every time you move, soft leather creates unexpected beautiful expressions when you actually wear the bag.

"The 'diskord' bag is not all right. I've never met Mr. Yoji, but he seems to be obsessed with the nature of human beings and the truth of things. This bag also shows Mr. Yoji's spirit. Now that the word diversity has become extremely commonplace, I feel that it is becoming a safe and secure society that insists on coordination. At the moment of recognition of diversity, it seems to be divided after all.…。 It's very difficult to speak only in words, but since I don't know about 100 percent, I think it's strange that "diskord" is always attached to interacting with people."

Simple and unique. It was playful
Functional Shibuya PARCO Limited Collection

A high-quality bag collection created by Yoji Yamamoto, who has led the world's mode scene. "The color and shape of this bag are wonderful," says the charming UA's mint-colored shoulder bag "FLUFFY" on the neck is attractive with the fluffy soft texture of cowhide wrapped in cotton with irregular stitches. It is a playful and functional bag with a simple design that can be used as a clutch when the shoulder is removed and the discord's personality is added. We also want to pay attention to limited collections that can only be obtained at Shibuya PARCO store. Among the "diskord Yohji Yamamoto", such as the simple smooth leather beige shoulder bag "Circle shoulder", "Drawstring Shoulder", "One-Handle Tote", and "Smartphone case shoulder", it has a silhouette that can be easily carried on a daily basis.

While being healed by the mysterious power of nature
Experience that confronts one's own essence and heart

"My father died of cancer shortly after I was born. I lived without knowing my father's existence, but when I was 35 years old, I wanted to confirm that existence and visited his hometown, Nara. At that time, I went to Tianhe Shrine, where there is a large ginkgo tree that is over 700 years old, and when I was touching the ginkgo tree, a tremendous tears came out even though it was not sad. Somehow, it may sound like a very cheap word, but it feels completely "healed." Do you really have such a thing?…I cried so much that I thought. Since then, Ginkgo has become my favorite tree. The row of ginkgo trees in front of the Gaien Garden in Tokyo is a really favorite place. I'm going to Earth to touch the ginkgo. I learned that my favorite ginkgo Kiki is cut down and redeveloped.…I feel that it is an "uncoordinated sound" in which various things are intertwined. It's a beautiful and proud place. I don't usually stay in Japan, but I would like to do what I can do when it comes to "unconsistent sound" that I think is strange."
