Hey, Yohji, thanks for the popcorn and the seltzer quencher. And the show venue had us giddy with anticipation: Hunter College’s basketball court, done up Y-3 style in black and orange, framed by a raised runway. By the time the rip-roaring light-show opener began, we were ready, treats in hand, to be delightfully entertained.

So you can understand our disappointment when the first look out was a bleak caped number, followed by moody knits and straightforward sporty fare. Which isn’t to say that, come fall, your girl won’t reach for those long zip-up cardigans, baggy track pants and comfy boyfriend sweaters. And there’s no doubt the cropped leather motorcycle jackets will ring up the registers. But after all the terrific Y-3 collections you’ve done, can you blame us for wanting a bit more?
