About the original
The Supreme x Yohji Yamamoto This Was Tomorrow Tee is a 100% cotton short-sleeve tee released September 17, 2020 at $54, featuring a front graphic lifted from Peter Saville's 1991 campaign work for Yohji Yamamoto, with the brand wordmarks beneath. Yohji Yamamoto founded his label in Tokyo in 1972 and began showing in Paris in 1981; Saville, best known for his Factory Records sleeves for Joy Division and New Order, handled Yamamoto's season campaigns through the late 1980s and early 1990s, coining the "This Was Tomorrow" tagline. The artwork is exclusive to this collaboration. Yohji Yamamoto sells its own in-house graphic tees through the Ground Y diffusion line at theshopyohjiyamamoto.com.
