Celebrating a ten year collaboration with Adidas;Y-3 Yohji Yamamoto, the design inspiration behind Y-3, presents to us his new Collection for Spring Summer 2013. The collection
Includes:: some favourite pieces from the past decade, whilst introducing newer but more fluid proportions & fits.
Rather than the simplicity of classic athletic wear, though, this collection is far more interested in the broader aesthetic palette of English youth culture the iconographic patterns of Union Jacks, plaids & tartan, the sharp, graphic uniforms of the Mods, & the harshly dishevelled roughness of the punk-era.
Y-3 Yohji Yamamotohas twisted & warped timeworn staples, into an austere but richly-layered collection full of drooping, unstructured silhouettes & fragmented patterns. Sheer over-layers darkened the vibrancy of tartans deep reds & greens, combining with the heaviness of black outerwear to provide a parallel echo with the aesthetics of another very different, quintessentially American youth scene that of Nirvanas early Nineties grunge.
