Yohji Yamamoto's Y-3 line started with those perpetually sold-out, incredibly cool sneakers. Yamamoto's collaboration with Adidas (the Y is for Yohji, the 3 for the triple stripe that trims the athletic brand’s classic shoes and tracksuits) is proving something that Venus and Serena Williams have been trying to tell us for years: tweaked properly, sports clothes can be fashion.
This season's collection was full of track pants that were tailored like trousers and black leather-and-wool baseball jackets, cut just slightly too large to be considered standard issue. The white-on-black Adidas stripes were twisted around pant legs and morphed into gold military-officer-style Vs on the sleeves of great toggle coats and slim black hoodies. Cargo pants, which we thought we'd seen the end of after the Spring collections, looked entirely fresh—cut full from silky parachute fabric and cinched at the ankle to form a soft balloon shape.
One of Y-3 collection is the Y-3 Yohji Yamamoto Beanie Winter Hat. This Y-3 hat is 100% acrylic.
