Today March 14th, 2024, adidas and Yohji Yamamoto return to present their second Y-3 Atelier collection, which boldly expresses the label’s DNA by fusing craftsmanship of Yohji Yamamoto and innovation of Adidas. Conceptualized as the most crystalised execution of Y-3’s vision, the exclusive Y-3 Atelier apparel and footwear line is an elevated craft-focused offering that advances an approach to production driven by skill and undeterred dedication.
Adidas and Yohji Yamamoto Introduce their latest Y-3 Atelier Collection
Adidas and Yohji Yamamoto continue nurturing their own 'dream team' in one another, through the next chapter of their rejuvenated, ongoing Y-3 Atelier collaboration. Which has been captured by photographer The Norgaard, conveying the inherent dynamism of each piece.
For its second collection, Y-3 Atelier introduces a suite of elegantly tailored pieces which blend adidas’ performance heritage with Yohji Yamamoto’s avant-garde design vision. The collection takes original Yohji Yamamoto and Yohji Yamamoto POUR HOMME designs that are from the runway show and recreates them in fully seam sealed waterproof 3-layer GORE-TEX® material constructions, while maintaining the signature silhouette of the original designs. Featuring extended seams and flap pockets, the selection of monochromatic black vests, coats, parkas, blousons, jackets, and blazers comes replete with reflective logos – reframing the signature Yohji Yamamoto aesthetic for an entirely new context. Featuring piercingly constructed silhouettes which find their raison d'être in the quintessential yet cutting-edge, avant-garde tailoring that Yamamoto has long been associated with, as well as the innovation that Adidas is synonymous with, the collaboration inevitably makes certain this hybrid approach.
Launching on March 15th whilst also being available to watch (and buy) through chosen Yohji Yamamoto and Yohji Yamamoto POUR HOMME stores, WILDSIDE Yohji Yamamoto (online & in-person), a precisely selected group of international retailers and in Y-3 shops.
