Padded bombers puff the silhouette outward, flowing cargos cut things loose again, and raw-cut hems add a hit of intentional imperfection. The big innovation is the wired Three Stripes: flexible, sculptable lines that let the wearer bend, twist and contort their garment into personalised architecture. It’s Y-3’s take on DIY futurism.
