Translating Travels–Laying out carpets for eclectic travels, Y-3’s youth geared up for an adventurous fall/winter 2012 showing. With less attention on the obvious sports appropriateness of the label and more focus on tapping into Yohji Yamamoto’s unique design aesthetic, relaxed silhouettes opened the door to romantic layers. Blended with an urban twist, baggy fits culminated in accessible garments decorated with engaging prints. Built on a range of billowing trousers, casual shirts played the laid-back companion piece to jackets and coats, constructed as that perfect finishing piece. From structured blazers accented with printed strips to a jacket, cut from buttery soft leather or an oversized boxy coat, Y-3 approached the season with a cool aptitude, delivering a contemporary flair, laced with a stylish finesse.
