SMMF: Y-3 Women’s Spring/Summer 2015 @adidasY3
The music of Jiro Amimoto filled the environment as the women’s pieces showcased a vibrant, colourful, and technically accomplished aesthetic influenced by the past but set firmly in the future.
The collection takes its inspiration from Surf culture, which has always been uniquely challenging mainstream conventions. Yohji Yamamoto has likewise pushed boundaries.
For Y-3 this season, he envisioned slim-fit futuristic sportswear detailed with bright pops of colour and playful prints—all of them finished with unique surf-inspired details and Y-3’s own take on traditional Hawaiian prints: lush, modern, and intoxicating.
These prints are evidently seen on everything from voluminous frock dresses and easy sweats to zip-up blousons and oversize parkas. The surf inspiration was also interpreted in acid-bright ombré separates that faded from eye-popping tones of turquoise and peach to charcoal gray.
The addition of black breaks up the pattern on the sharply cut coats and billowing jumpsuits and skirts showcasing an interplay of bold volume and striking tailoring.
