Y-3: "The most chilling show ever," promised the invitation to Yohji Yamamoto's Y-3 presentation, printed with menacing silhouettes of birds over a blood red logo. Scary? Yes. Apparently, one bird-phobic editor had to be coaxed into staying. But even for those who don't live in fear of the feathered, Yamamoto's vision was fairly dark. Posed together on stage — complete with crystal gun and knife motifs on some of the mostly black looks — the models resembled an impossibly cool gang. Imagine Violet Incredible running with the wrong crowd. But into this shadowy world, Yamamoto packed in real clothes that ranged from the sporty staples to more polished urban fare. But it's the former — denim, tracksuits in both bright nylon and drab wool and, of course, those striped accessories — that are likely the bread and butter of this line. And if one wondered who might buy a pencil skirt or a peacoat from a sports-inspired collection, the perfectly cut black blazer would provide the answer.
