YOHJI YAMAMOTO REDEFINES THE UNIFORM FOR AESOP

At Milano Design Week 2026, the Y’s line by Yohji Yamamoto created a custom jacket for the hosts of Factory of Light, Aesop’s installation presented during the Fuorisalone.

The piece features a relaxed, functional silhouette with oversized pockets and a subtly crinkled fabric achieved through finishing techniques that add depth without excess. Designed for everyday use, it operates as a discreet uniform aligned with its purpose: welcoming, guiding, and accompanying visitors throughout the space.

The collaboration suggests a shared approach between Y’s and Aesop, centered on everyday gestures. For the third consecutive year, Factory of Light returns as a sensory environment where light, material, and human interaction intertwine—while the uniform becomes part of the spatial language itself.
