The design encapsulates his avant-garde fashion ethos, featuring deconstructivism, asymmetry, and a gender-neutral allure. Tailoring for art-conscious individuals as the target audience, the store reflects Yohji's intellectual, dark, and rebel style through monochromatic palettes and film noir aesthetics. Seamlessly integrating Japanese tradition, Western elements, and architectural inspirations from Lebbeus Woods and the California Light and Space movement, particularly Robert Irwin's spatial concepts, the retail space embodies Yohji's confidence, strength and artistic rebellion.
