2014 marked the inception of Y’s Pink, a new sub-label under the Yohji Yamamoto umbrella. Helmed by Takeshi Kosaka, Y’s Pink is known for its innovative garments often described as “a selection of stand-alone items with a strong design profile.” The label frequently features botanical motifs while staying true to the design codes of Y’s.
In his Autumn/Winter 2017 collection, Takeshi Kosaka explored the juxtaposition of patterns against extreme minimalism. Floral patterns were prominent throughout the collection, with motifs inspired by traditional Russian designs. By adding panels of floral tapestries to solid colors, Kosaka created depth and contrast in his minimalistic pieces.
This sample skirt features the distinctive Russian floral motifs, running from the waistline to the hem.
