Exploring Denim Styles for the 21st Century
Warehouse is a denim brand founded in 1995 by the Shiotani brothers. They offer authentic workwear denim with meticulous attention to detail, garnering a devoted following. The Shiotani brothers, who travel the world seeking vintage denim processing methods, encountered Y-3 and presented a denim style befitting the 21st century.
Let's start with the model on the upper left. The “M DENIM BASIC PANT” features a five-pocket, straight silhouette. The fabric is Warehouse's original selvedge denim, made with precious US cotton, which is rarely used today.
The middle model, “M DENIM STATEMENT PANT,” has a “crane” pattern printed on the lining, designed by Mr. Fumiki Hayashi, a dyer favored by the Japanese Imperial family, as part of the 2013 Spring/Summer anniversary collection. Furthermore, denim from the 1930s was deconstructed, with the warp and weft threads removed and reprocessed to create a unique fabric.
And the “M DENIM DROP PANT” is crafted from Warehouse's original cotton selvedge denim into a voluminous, Y-3-esque drop-crotch silhouette. This type of twill denim, often used for overalls, offers a distinctive texture with its mid-weight feel.
Y-3 Announces First Men's Fragrance, “BLACK LABEL”
Additionally, Y-3's first men's fragrance, “BLACK LABEL,” was unveiled on January 19th during Paris Fashion Week Men's.
The scent opens with a masculine and vibrant top note, a harmony of cardamom and elemi, enhanced by a modern touch of marigold. This transitions into a heart where Virginia cedarwood and lavandin blend elegantly, underscored by the sensual aroma of black pepper. Finally, the base notes release the captivating power of patchouli, vetiver, and tonka bean, giving this fragrance its unparalleled character.
While release dates and stores within Japan are currently undecided, the fragrance is scheduled to launch on the Y-3 online store starting in February.
