NEW YORK FASHION WEEK: Y-3 COLLECTION FALL/WINTER 2008/2009 MENSWEAR RUNWAY REVIEW
February 7, 2008
For Fall/Winter 2008-09 the Y-3 collection was presented before a wall of ice trucked into the city specifically for this presentation.
The ice theme reminded us of Galliano’s “Ice” collection theme presented in Paris, but designer Yohji Yamamoto’s take was decidedly more modern as tech fabrics comprised many looks. The silhouette was baggy and relaxed displaying a certain cool. The use of voluminous scarves made for interesting proportions as they were styled into the outfits at certain points.
The use of tartan, especially when it encompassed one model was sure to bring warmth despite the icy climate of the runway. Denim’s were clean and long with turned up cuffs while cargo pockets were added to other pants.
A standout from the collection came in the form of a black overcoat with red quilted lining.
The color palette was formed by blacks, icy cool blues, reds and military greens.
