Yohji Yamamoto and adidas unveiled their Y-3 Fall/Winter 2023 collection, a seamless blend of art and practicality, pushing the boundaries of conventional sportswear. Renowned for the integration of innovative designs with superior functionality, this dynamic duo has outdone themselves yet again.
This collection demonstrates once again the revolutionary craftsmanship that Y-3 has become synonymous with. Delving into a world where creativity meets utility, the line-up boasts an array of garments that redefine adaptability. Influenced by the legacy of adidas and the artistic finesse of Yamamoto, the collection is an emblem of “Subverted Function.”
The new apparel lineup includes winter-ready designs that are both dynamic and practical. Highlighted by puffers, parkas, and vests adorned with elevated metal zips and adjustable snap button closures. These features allow wearers to sport an asymmetrical look, showcasing the perfect marriage of style and function.
“Our focus was to push boundaries, integrating the core essence of both adidas and my design philosophy,” Yohji Yamamoto remarked. This dedication to innovation is vividly expressed through pieces adorned with a distorted brush stroke motif, painting a visual portrayal of the fusion between two worlds.
In the footwear segment, the Y-3 GENDO and Y-3 KYASU silhouettes make a bold entrance. The Y-3 GENDO elevates the iconic adidas Superstar design, while the Y-3 KYASU, available in high and low cut versions, epitomizes a brutalist interpretation of minimalist footwear.
Accessories haven’t been overlooked; winter-ready pieces including holdall bags, leg warmers, and gloves complete the ensemble. Each piece, intricately designed, reflects the innovative spirit of Y-3 and underscores the label’s commitment to groundbreaking fashion.
This launch is complemented by a campaign that veers into the lives of Berlin’s artist community, an exploration captured by renowned photographer Valeria. The visuals underline the raw, unfiltered essence of the city’s creative pulse, featuring local faces etching their mark in various artistic domains.
