Yohji Yamamoto and adidas launch the first chapter of the Y-3 FW18 collection, continuing its powerful partnership. The lookbook nods to the busy environment of downtown Los Angeles, representing the predominant energy of modern youth. The range is photographed by Angelo Pannetta and styled by Carlos Nazario. The new fall range sees largely fitted silhouettes that exude an exaggerated idea as well as sashiko-inspired stitching accents.
Additionally, there are also long tailoring and patchwork details infused. Staying in correlation to the brand's aesthetics, the Y-3 FW18 collection boasts a predominantly black color palette. Some standout items from the range include its wool coats, multi-fabric jackets, and its sneaker selections.
