excerpt: Y-3 Fall/Winter 2026, 2027 - Paris Fashion Week

 

"...Despite being at the cusp of this historic shift, as a last gasp attempt by neoconservatives under Far Right Christian nationalist banners, attempting to rewrite society and history to align what they always wanted, it is still unknown where this will all lead too, if it can't be steered away from full blown Fascism.  Maybe very close to a thermonuclear World War, with that crazy U.S. President at the helm.  So, things ain't looking so good.

To which Yamamoto has insulated and layered the styles on show with an almost 'protester' - esque look, also noted, is the seriousness of the collection.  It feels youthful, but also grounded.  Expressive, but not intrusive, and in some ways quite flat aesthetically, which Gen Z may relate to, already showing the hallmarks of less ego and more reaction to global issues, however the ire of burnout and overstimulation is their ever presence threat.  All the while the runway models were surrounded by dancers in boiler suits, wearing wolf printed balaclavas.  Is this Yamamoto's subtle message that this current Generation are under pressure from all sides?

Can they change the world?"
