The Y-3 Ready-To-Wear Collection Fall-Winter 2007-2008

Yohji Yamamoto's Y-3 line started with those perpetually sold-out, incredibly cool sneakers. Yamamoto's collaboration with Adidas (the Y is for Yohji, the 3 for the triple stripe that trims the athletic brand’s classic shoes and tracksuits) is proving something that Venus and Serena Williams have been trying to tell us for years: tweaked properly, sports clothes can be fashion.

This season's collection was full of track pants that were tailored like trousers and black leather-and-wool baseball jackets, cut just slightly too large to be considered standard issue. The white-on-black Adidas stripes were twisted around pant legs and morphed into gold military-officer-style Vs on the sleeves of great toggle coats and slim black hoodies. Cargo pants, which we thought we'd seen the end of after the Spring collections, looked entirely fresh—cut full from silky parachute fabric and cinched at the ankle to form a soft balloon shape.


One of Y-3 collection is the Y-3 Yohji Yamamoto Beanie Winter Hat. This Y-3 hat is 100% acrylic.

Y-3 Collections

With celebrities like LL Cool J, Mena Suvari, Samuel L. Jackson and the Misshapes looking on from the front row, Y-3's spring-summer show (presented in an abandoned garage above which the show producer simulated a thunderstorm complete with fake rain) was a step in the right direction - away from the line's hardcore sportswear roots.


Next season dedicated followers of the longtime collaboration between Yohji Yamamoto and Adidas will be able to wear Y-3 from morning to night with a solid collegiate-style wardrobe - not only were their sweatpants and athletic pieces, but also strapless dresses, tailored trenches (with hoods, of course), and smart jackets. Some of the draped black Lycra women's tops and mini-dresses may even be able to pass critical muster at a serious grown-up cocktail party.

By the way, Yōji Yamamoto is an internationally known Japanese fashion designer based out of Paris, Japan, and New York. He expresses his philosophy and avant-garde spirit in his clothing, frequently creating designs far removed from current trends. Basically, he makes a line characterized by oversized silhouettes; it typically features drapes (loose gathers and tatters) in glossy textures that naturally change with the figure's contours and movement.

Here are some design of Yōji Yamamoto.
