Y's AW22 COLLECTION
Functionality and clothing - Drawing the boundaries of what makes clothes functional.
Functionality and clothes. Functional clothing motifs are derived from workwear. The base of Y's and its pattern-making techniques. Making clothes functional and conform. Drawing the boundaries between the 2.
The unchanging spirit and the power to conceive clothing.
Uniform and workwear. The "formal wear" with functionality becomes Y's clothing. In the details, in adjusting the form and in twisting the shape . This is the boarder line on which the silhouette exists. Formal clothes inspired by the military and reconstructed with some tailoring and couture elements.
British - Tartan check, tweed material and riders that characterize the season. The tweed is a classic and functional material.
This season's details, the pleats. A style that was used to make Western dresses more functional, but with a noble history going back to the ancient times. A hybrid of grace and functionality.
Interpreting and reconstructing "functionality" and "form" through Y's conception.
The Fall/Winter 22-23 collection will be available in Japan from Wednesday, July 13th, in stores and on the official online shop.
