Y-3 returns with the first chapter of its SS26 collection, continuing the enduring dialogue between adidas’ forward-thinking design ethos and Yohji Yamamoto’s renegade vision.
Shot by long-standing Y-3 collaborator Oscar Foster Kayne, the Chapter 1 lookbook explores a dynamic interplay of softness and intensity, a visual tension that echoes the contrasts at the core of Y-3. The result is a set of images that bring depth, mood, and a distinct attitude to the collection.
In true monochromatic fashion, the SS26 apparel and accessories forgo color disruption in favor of formal experimentation. Padded bombers appear alongside fluid cargo trousers, raw-cut details introduce expressive imperfection to signature uniform silhouettes, and select pieces feature wired Three Stripes, allowing wearers to sculpt and reshape the garments into personalized forms.
