Y-3 MENSWEAR AUTUMN/WINTER 2011-12
Y-3’s men’s collection takes inspiration from nature and the concept of escape, including blazers, trench coats, parkas, and high boots in tones of army green. Explosions of riotous Japanese print, captured on soft bomber jackets and button-down shirts, worn with knitted leggings or slouchy, sarouel-style sweatpants. Accessories include printed sneakers, white Chelsea ankle boots, and wool trapper hats.
Simultaneously, Y-3 presented an exclusive screening of “This Is My Dream”, a documentary by Theodore Stanley following Yohji Yamamoto during rare, intimate moments of a Y-3 collection in progress. The documentary traces an entire collection from start to finish, including design, casting, styling, and show production. In the short film, Yamamoto opens up about his inspirations, his love of music, and his aesthetic vision.
Yamamoto and adidas are currently celebrating a decade of collaboration. The presentation also included an installation of greatest footwear hits from the leader of Japan’s avant-garde and the forerunners of sport-style.
