Italian textile artistry and Japanese design mastery come together in a quietly powerful collaboration between 120% Lino and Y’s for Men, the menswear line by Yohji Yamamoto. The result is a capsule collection that blends refined materials with poetic restraint—an exercise in sartorial minimalism that celebrates the expressive beauty of linen in its most essential form.
Launched exclusively for the U.S. market, this collection marks a milestone for 120% Lino as it ventures into high-end territory with a partner renowned for avant-garde elegance. Designed with Yamamoto’s iconic volumes and muted palette—think white, grey, and black—the garments express a distinctly modern masculinity that is both grounded and elevated. Here, traditional tailoring is softened with fluidity, and every fold or crease becomes part of the story: linen is the protagonist, allowed to age, crease, and evolve in harmony with the wearer.
The capsule reinterprets key elements of the male wardrobe through Yohji’s conceptual lens and 120% Lino’s linen expertise. The Saharan jacket has a relaxed, low-shoulder silhouette paired with utilitarian flap pockets, while the blazer leans into softness and unstructured ease. The bomber jacket introduces a touch of urban energy without sacrificing the fabric’s natural breathability and comfort.
Trousers come in three distinct styles, each delivering function with artistic nuance. The Back Side Zipper Pants feature a rear zip pocket for graphic detail, while the String Pants and Side Tuck Pants provide varying silhouettes—one with functional outer pockets and another with generous side folds for volume and movement. All are rendered in pure linen for effortless elegance throughout the seasons.
Outerwear is completed by a trench coat, which, in this context, becomes a living garment—its texture and shape evolving over time with wear. Classic and hooded linen t-shirts round out the collection, offering a balance of form and functionality.
The capsule is currently available in two exclusive Florida locations—Miami’s Brickell City Centre and Aventura Mall—as well as through Yohji Yamamoto’s global retail and online platforms. This cross-cultural collaboration signals a strategic shift for 120% Lino, positioning the brand on a more international stage and aligning it with high-concept design while remaining true to its roots in fine natural fabrics.
Together, 120% Lino and Yohji Yamamoto have crafted a wearable dialogue between Italian craftsmanship and Japanese experimentation. Understated yet evocative, this partnership is a thoughtful response to the modern man’s desire for authenticity, quality, and timeless elegance.
