Y-3 Fashion Forecast by Sol Watle

“We are always unconsciously wanting to come back. It is one of man’s strongest desires.” 

(Yohji Yamamoto)

The realization of a journey back to the wildness in which Yamamoto presents this Autunm-Winter /11 his collection with voluminous and exaggerated silhouettes. Inspired by the nature of escape, he enhances the garments with prints and patches, spelling out comfort with hooded ponchos, elaborate cut-away dresses, pleated skirts, wool puffer shrugs and oversized wide-leg pants. In the center of the collection’s theme we can find tones of black, olive and red.
