Y-3 FW26
Y-3 showed its Fall Winter 2026 collection in Paris at the Palais d’Iéna. Y-3 is a place where two things come together: the part of adidas and Yohji Yamamotos own ideas about clothes. Yohji Yamamoto has a way of thinking about clothing. The Fall Winter 2026 collection from Y-3 is a wardrobe that's all, about being active and doing things. Y-3 wants people to move around and do stuff while wearing the Fall Winter 2026 collection.
The show was really different because it did not have a catwalk. It was like a series of things happening one after the other. They got the idea from car racing. The way they set it up was about rhythm and control and doing things over and over. The models were the ones who showed us what to do. The place felt like it was moving fast even though there were no cars there. This made me feel like I had to pay attention. It kept getting more and more exciting until they said they were working with the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team. The Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team was the surprise, at the end.
The collection itself played between structure and ease. Denim reappeared alongside skate-influenced elements, contrasted by technical tailoring and adaptive outerwear. Graphics were restrained yet expressive, while new footwear designs reinforced Y-3’s ongoing commitment to performance-led design. Fall Winter 2026 framed the label as a modern uniform: practical, expressive, and based in the relationship between the body, the garment, and motion.
