日本最具知名度的設計師之一山本耀司（Yohji Yamamoto），從小受媽媽影響就接觸到了裁縫業，但他不甘於只是為別人做裁縫而不能有自己的主見，因此在畢業後到歐洲學習並開始自己設計衣服，便在1972年建立了同名品牌 Yohji Yamamoto，其風格不按照常規、且不分性別，以寬鬆且黑色為主的誇張剪裁去覆蓋女性的身體曲線，將品牌中性化。
在2017春夏系列中，山本耀司不只使用慣用的黑色，也加入大量藍、灰色，但依舊保留了山本的特色：寬鬆、柔軟、層次感。寬鬆的襯衫搭配過長的大衣和寬褲，即使是正裝也一樣用此手法展現，在山本的設計中，沒有無謂的跟隨潮流只有自己想怎麼設計。以條紋來作點綴讓整系列更有亮點，而這次也有很多配件的出現，綁在頭上和脖子上的緞帶及球鞋、涼鞋、靴子都讓整體搭配更有層次感。仔細看，能從暗色中看到這次多了山水畫的圖案，在幾款衣服的背後甚至有山本耀司本人的自畫像，配上”I am a Slump”、”I am Hurrying、”Yohji is for Hire”的標語，像在嘲諷經濟的蕭條，對時事表達抗議。

簡潔又有線條卻不過於誇張的山本耀司，以自己的手法融入日本傳統元素將設計帶上國際大舞台並受人喜愛，飄逸的自然垂墜感讓設計更有自己的線條，從設計到模特的呈現，都能看出山本心中不羈的態度，也讓我們不禁佩服今年72歲的山本耀司，也期待往後更多有個性又不一昧跟隨潮流的時裝作品。
