Y-3 have invoked Yohji Yamamoto‘s style of “air between the body” with a new selection of sailing-inspired pieces. Derailing partially from Yamamoto’s natural all-black styling, the collection centers around sporty graphics and bright colors.
An array of relaxed T-shirts inform the majority of the drop, each with graphics that evoke spinnakers, a type of sail designed for swift downwind movement. Oversized branding, with bold Y-3 branding at the chest appears on each piece, with Yamamoto’s signature appearing subsequently.
A packable jacket also appears in the drop, sporting two chest pockets, a hood and tonal geometric graphics; the jacket can be squashed into a zippered parachute-style pouch for easy storage. Arguably the standout piece is the billowing Sailing Poncho, crafted from lightweight — also water resistant — satin, offering zipper closure, an adjustable neck closure and more color-blocked prints.
The AOP collection is now available at the brands web store, physical outposts and, shortly, stockists like Farfetch. Tell us what you think in the comments below.
