Y/PROJECT: Gothic Cathedrals, A Flemish Vibe for Menswear Spring 2023 PFW

Y/Project delivered “Gothic cathedrals, a Flemish vibe” for its Menswear Spring 2023 show at the Paris Fashion Week runway and here are some highlights! Photos shot backstage by Sonny Vandevelde.

“The basenote remained distorted denim, imprinted with a cheesy Eiffel Tower logo—“it goes all the way up”—that you wondered might be a gentle satire of the rumbustious graphics so favored at the designer’s day job at Diesel until he gently disambiguated that it had been in place here since 2013. There was a whole chapter—chapter 2—of new trompe l’oeil pieces as a second season partnership with Jean Paul Gaultier. Instead of nudes this time the emphasis was on impressing the dressed-down—classic Y/Project jeans and vests and polos—on slips and rib-knits.” – Vogue
