Yohji Yamamoto Inc. has opened a new Yohji Yamamoto store at Nanjing JLC.
We invite you to visit the new location, which offers a full lineup of Yohji Yamamoto, Yohji Yamamoto POUR HOMME, and discord Yohji Yamamoto.
The first Yohji Yamamoto store in Nanjing draws inspiration from the city’s historic architecture—particularly the ancient city wall built in the 14th century. Composed of gray stone and brick, this wall is one of the largest of its kind in the world. Over centuries of partial restoration, strong horizontal grain patterns have emerged, giving it a layered appearance that resonates with the traditional tiled roofs seen on surrounding gate structures.
These tiled roofs, like the bricks of the wall, are made from gray clay mixed with sand, contributing to a distinctive stratified pattern, reminiscent of geological layers.
In the store’s design, this texture has been reinterpreted not with brick, but with hand-galvanized corrugated steel panels, installed vertically and reaching heights of up to five meters. This modern expression of scale and material rhythm pays homage to the strength and presence of Nanjing’s architectural heritage.
