アディダスY3がなんと10周年を迎えました！記念に400ものページにわたるコレクション、広告、裏舞台のフォトが収まったブックが 限定リリース！
The first high-end piece of clothing I ever purchased in Tokyo was a skirt by Y3 about 7 years ago. That evening Yohji Yamamoto was going to hold a reception party at Spiral hall to celebrate the opening of the Aoyama Y3 flagship shop and I COULDN’T show up in anything other than his brand. “You’re crazy,” said my friend Gen who balked at the prices. “I know. But I need SOMETHING.”

SS2014 Y-3
It’s been 10 years since the brand started, and rewinding back to that time, the idea of Yohji Yamamoto designing a brand for Adidas was extraordinary. For me personally, I am having a bit of a Y3 revival. I still have that skirt from 2006 but I think it’s going to be joined by a lot more cousins soon. Y3 is the perfect blend of street-wise with exclusive intelligence. I want avantgarde but “train” wearable. And cachet, too.
To celebrate the 10 year anniversary, the brand produced a book of photos chronicling the fashion shows, backstage shots, ads and other scenes throughout the year. This “Ten years of Y-3” tome is only getting into the hands of 2,000 people-friends, ambassadors and VIP (ah, thankyou!)….and not for sale. It can be seen at the shops BUT it’s also got a very cool website where all the contents can be perused.
Y-3が設立されてから10年が経った今、当時を振り返ってみると、ヨージさんがアスレティックブランドとコラボするのってどれほど斬新だった。

Here’s some “Did you know?” about Y-3:
*The Adidas “3 stripes” logo has regulations like on size and the amount of space between them, but for Y-3 Yohji is *completely* free to rearrange them however he wants. He can make them fat, small, colored or twist them up.
*The styling for the show is handled by Yohji himself. He will pick preliminary outfits and have them sent to New York where it gets refined. Hand-on designer! Respect!
* Speaking of New York, the brand is moving from NYC Womenswear Fashion Week to Paris Menswear Fashion Week starting this coming January. NYC is losing something special!
*The shoes are INCREDIBLE. That is all.
If you haven’t looked up the brand lately, I highly suggest that you do! You will be surprised at how much you can dig up.
