Yohji Yamamoto Pour Homme AW11 Skeleton & Apple Intarsia Knit Sweater Black Rare

Ultra-rare Yohji Yamamoto Pour Homme sweater from the Autumn/Winter 2011 collection featuring the iconic skeleton ribcage + red apple intarsia motif. Yohji Yamamoto’s fall 2011 presentation marked a return to his roots. After drifting towards a more structured cut in recent collections, he re-emphasized his signature slouched and unstructured silhouette. The runway was filled with an array of oversized three-piece suits, along with two dominant graphic motifs: pin-up erotica woven into velvet coats, and human skeletons, which appeared on an array of sweaters. This knit is a popular example of the latter. It is made from a soft wool and alpaca blend and fits long through the body. Season: AW2011 Fit: Relaxed, oversized silhouette Material: Wool/alpaca blend (typical for this season’s knits) *Authenticity Notes This sweater can be confidently attributed to Yohji Yamamoto Pour Homme AW2011 despite missing interior labels: Exact graphic placement matches runway and archive examples (ribcage on left, red apple on chest).
