Y's debuts its Resort 2019 wear and the collection is comprised out of silhouettes that fall under the umbrella of Japanese-inspired fashion. The designs communicate an elegant and breezy aesthetic due to their asymmetrical cuts and layered stylings.
Y's undertakes a relatively minimalist approach, emphasizing ensembles in crisp white and ethereal black. However, the Resort 2019 collection also boasts some intricate pieces that embrace Japanese-inspired fashion to a fuller extent. In the patterned offerings, the label uses a traditional 17th-century hand-painting technique called Yuzen. This artisanal form of embellishment was historically used to distinguish "aristocratic brocades that were off-limits to regular folk." Y's laser prints its custom designs to evoke a level of sophistication and precision.
