Supreme Yohji Yamamoto Vanson Leathers Split JacketWhite

Product Description

The Supreme Yohji Yamamoto Vanson Leathers Split Jacket in White is a three-way Fall Winter 2022 collaboration between Supreme, Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto, and Vanson Leathers, the Massachusetts-based motorcycle leather manufacturer founded in 1972 that produces some of the most technically specified and most durable leather outerwear in American manufacturing history, featuring a split construction where the jacket combines two distinct garment halves in different materials, colors, or silhouettes joined at a center seam that creates the single most visually dramatic and most conceptually complex piece in Supreme's FW22 outerwear range. The three-way collaboration brings together Supreme's streetwear cultural authority, Yohji Yamamoto's avant-garde fashion philosophy built around deconstructed silhouettes, asymmetry, and the rejection of conventional garment construction logic, and Vanson's technical leather manufacturing expertise that applies protective motorcycle jacket construction standards to a fashion garment context, with all three brands' specific competencies combining in the split jacket's unusual construction to produce a piece that could only result from this specific three-way creative partnership. The White colorway is the most unexpected and most dramatically fashion-coded expression of a leather motorcycle jacket, departing entirely from the black leather that defines Vanson's technical performance identity to deliver a pristine white leather split construction whose purity amplifies the visual impact of the asymmetrical split design while referencing Yohji Yamamoto's consistent engagement with white and cream as formal and conceptual color choices throughout his career. At $2,198 retail the Split Jacket is one of the most expensive individual pieces Supreme has produced in its history.
