Yohji Yamamoto Inc has started its new brand “s'yte” on September 1, 2011. Quite experimental for a fashion maison, it is website-only brand.
The name of the brand is “s'yte” (pronounced as “site”).
Its logo was designed by Mr. James Victore, a graphic designer active mainly in New York.
“s'yte” is a Yohji Yamamoto’s casual wear brand that customers can feel closer. It aims through web to casually suit those who have never worn the company’s other brands.
The first lineup has high quality T-shirts sewn by a long-established Japanese workshop; its graphics are designed by Mr. James Victore.
At the moment, delivery of s'yte products is limited to addresses in Japan.

[Profile of James Victore]
James Victore runs an independent design studio hell-bent on world domination. He is an author, designer, filmmaker and firestarter. He continually strives to make work that is sexy, strong and memorable; work that tows the line between the sacred and the profane. His paintings of expressionist designs can be seen on ceramics, surfboards, billboards and supermodels. Recently described as "part Darth Vader, part Yoda," Victore is widely known for his timely wisdom and impassioned views about design and it's place in the world. He expresses these views and teachings through his numerous lectures, workshops, and writings. James' work has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and is represented in the permanent collections of the museums around the globe. His clients include Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, Esquire Magazine, Moet Chandon and The New York Times. His work was recently published in a monograph titled, "Victore or, Who Died and Made You Boss?" Victore teaches at the School of Visual Arts in NYC. He lives, loves and works in Brooklyn.
