Y/Project FW23
Y/Project's Fall/Winter 2023 collection, showcased at the Institut Français de la Mode, featured innovative construction, asymmetrical stitching, and intricate layers of denim, showcasing the brand's creative director Glenn Martens' mastery of the material. Martens' subversive approach to denim and his manipulation of the fabric is unparalleled, as evidenced by his successful transformation of the once-dusty Diesel brand. The designer sliced up the textile and plastered it across various silhouettes, including formal blazers, wool coats, turtlenecks, slip dresses, and bodycons, among others.
The collection's prints, reminiscent of those created in collaboration with Jean Paul Gaultier last year, took the brand's sex appeal to new heights with explicit illustrations. The show's soundtrack, George Frideric Handel's aria "Lascia ch'io pianga" from the opera Rinaldo, should have clued showgoers into the brand's provocative designs. Overall, Y/Project's Fall/Winter 2023 collection showcased Martens' fashion-forward and experimental approach to design, cementing the brand's position as a trailblazer in the fashion industry.
