Yohji Yamamoto was born in 1943 and graduated from law school in 1966. Right after he realized that being part of the ordinary society and a law career was not for him. Instead, he decided to support the family tailoring business of his widowed mother who was a dressmaker, and agreed under one condition: a fashion college degree which he completed in 1969 at Bunka Fashion College Tokyo, awarded with two fashion prices and a scholarship in Paris.

Julius
Oversized Fashion from Tokyo
The label “Julius” was founded in Tokyo in 2001 by Tatsuro Horikawa as a means of presenting film projects, the Julius label eventually developed its clothing line in 2004. Nevertheless, the original art idea remained and is now reflected, for example, in dark colors. Using black and grey as the main components of every collection – symbols of madness and pain, respectively – the label centers around Horikawa’s love of art and architecture, which were integral to the brand’s initial formation as an art project. The oversized cuts of the clothes and accessories show a contemporary bohemian style.
