Y-3 S/S 2019 – YOHJI LOVE CAPSULE
2019-04-08Yohji Yamamoto’s hand is visible in every Y-3 collection. This season, his hand-painted artwork appears exclusively across a new limited-edition range of apparel, footwear, and accessories. First seen at the Spring/Summer 2019 runway presentation in Paris last July, the swirling graphic bears the words “Love, Yohji Yamamoto” and appears across easy-to-wear shirts, hoodies, track tops, and T-shirt dresses that reflect both the adidas and Yamamoto identities.
Many of these garments link to the adidas Originals archive, calling to mind the California Tee or the Firebird Jacket. Other pieces function as reissues of best-selling Y-3 styles in men’s shirting, women’s essentials, and accessories. And in signature Yamamoto style, the collection is available in two classic color options: black on white and white on black.
In footwear, the Y-3 YOHJI SUPER presents a refinement of the iconic adidas Superstar 80s, seen here with a leather shell-toe and the season’s graphic snaking around its uppers. In accessories, a sleek drawstring sport backpack and a capacious white zip-top tote provide style and utility, while a simple cotton canvas cap and engineered sport socks complete the graphic look.
