Glenn Martens continues to deliver new looks to the fashion imprint Y/Project on a new collection designed for the Spring/Summer 2023 season. The new range continues to build upon the theme of bringing trompe-l’oeil to its capsule, which playfully tampers with the concept of illusion.
It can be seen through items such as the over-layering that marks the different belts and collars of the designs. There is also a range of scans and prints of jeans that are decorating the tees to create the look of high-waisted jeans. In addition to this, the denim pieces take on the same shape as knitwear when worn together and the dresses and blazers boast a unique deconstructed look.
