The Lamborghini Aventador S Takes an Avant-Garde Turn With The Help of Yohji Yamamoto

Lamborghini takes an ultra-avant-garde turn, with the help of Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto. Teasing an all-new Aventador S dressed in a distressed black-and-red color palette, the car which follows the theme of Yamamoto’s fall 2020 menswear collection, showcases an array of punk red plaids, dots, and painterly stripes, alongside a dizzying interior of unique upholstery accented by stylized Katakana and Kanji text in contrasting white.

The Lamborghini Aventador S Takes an Avant-Garde Turn With The Help of Yohji Yamamoto

Speaking to the inner anti-fashion, and cerebral individuality that exists within us all, this collaboration which highlights the distinct, timelessness, and abundant passion of both brands, launches alongside a dedicated venue in Roppongi Hills dubbed The Lounge Tokyo. Following in the same vein of The Lounge New York, this standalone outpost is designed to not only highlight key events, such as art exhibitions, conferences and other gatherings, but offer a typical Lamborghini lifestyle experience to distinguished guests including, prospective clients and their families.

 

No collaboration with a distinguished designer is complete till the announcement of an exclusive clothing capsule – and the Lamborghini x Yohji Yamamoto apparel does not disappoint. Featuring a mod coat, bomber jacket, and hoodie inspired by the designer’s latest collection, one can only speculate that the line will be available on designer Yohji Yamamoto’s official website or the new Tokyo Lounge within the coming months.

Walker Warner Architects Thoughtfully Construct The Ideal Kua Bay Retreat

Situated along the rugged coastlines of Kohala, this family retreat, dubbed the Kua Bay, embraces the spirit of Mauka-Makai—the symbolic flow of lava from mountain to sea—through its direct connections to the volcanic landscape and dramatic vistas of the Pacific Ocean. Unfolding in a series of curated experiences, this house is characterized by its dual entrances.

On the mountain side of the property, the entrance is cut directly into the lava field to limit its visual impact and establish privacy from surrounding neighbours. The main hale seamlessly frames the ocean with expansive floor-to-ceiling retractable glass doors and wood screens, intended to soften harsh sunlight and provide relief from trade winds without obstructing views. With clean lines, large openings and simple geometries, the horizontal structure mirrors the ocean’s horizon and provides an elegant transition from lava to sea.

Showcasing a palatial garage, and guest house, alongside expansive main living areas which provide sweeping views of the Pacific, an outdoor terrace, and an infinity-edge pool, the Kua Bay retreat represents a delicate response to the landscape, with thoughtful details which form an ideal balance between manmade and natural formations.
