Y-3 Spring/Summer 2016
by Adriano Batista
Yohji Yamamoto presented his Spring/Summer 2016 collection for Y-3 during Paris Fashion Week. At their essence, adidas and Yohji Yamamoto are united in their endless quest to define and dress one singular object: the human body in motion. For Spring/Summer 2016, Y-3 delivers a bold, iconic collection that explores a kinetic grace with sheer, fluid, ultra-light pieces designed to move – the 3 Stripes in Motion.
The collection signifies a return to the graphic simplicity of both Yamamoto’s work and adidas’ three-stripe motif. Heightening the theme, men’s and women’s pieces debuted side by side against the backdrop of an avant-garde performance by “TAO Dance Theater” and choreography by Tao Ye”, a fearless gesture of modern movement.
The collection originated in a series of sketches that Yamamoto imagined with rapid-fire creativity. The drawings yield the clothing itself, but also serve as decoration when printed as artwork across a range of apparel from tanks to T-shirts. Further inspired, Yamamoto created four self-portraits of himself in motion that are also used as graphic treatment. For the designer, the topic of movement is most clearly encapsulated in a series of stunning ponchos in three distinct silhouettes, two of which are emblazoned with his sketches.
As a first, Y-3 will make two key styles from the Spring/Summer 2016 collection available for pre-order on Y-3.com, starting Monday, June 29th at 12pm CET. This exciting option will allow Y-3 fans worldwide the opportunity to be among the first to receive both items, only weeks after debuting during the Y-3 Spring/Summer 2016 runway presentation. This exclusive pre-order selection includes the brand new all white Qasa High sneaker and the black funnel-necked Shacho’s poncho, featuring the Yamamoto artwork on the back. Pre order is available for one week only, with items arriving to customers by the end of July 2015, long before the remaining collection arrives in stores for the new season.
