It never fails to amaze what Yohji Yamamoto can accomplish with his collaboration with ADIDAS. Y-3 has the basic pieces you would expect from an athletic themed collection, but always moves beyond the typical windbreakers and sweats towards a more fashion-forward look. Next year’s spring is easily shaped by plaid shirting with extended length and mesh carelessly thrown around. It’s the atypical elements that widen the gap and make designer collaborations with brands like ADIDAS and Puma work. Also of note with this show is the runway presence of The All-American Rejects front-man Tyson Ritter and Madonna squeeze Jesus Luz. Could one of these catwalk stars be the face of next season’s campaign?
