Identity. Rebellion. Timelessness. Y-3’s Fall/Winter 2025 campaign is not just another seasonal statement — it’s an exploration of thresholds, of the space where fashion becomes art. This season, the label reunites with legendary Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama, whose raw, grain-soaked imagery has long defined the edge of visual culture.
Shot in Tokyo, the campaign strips fashion of gloss and polish, instead embracing the city’s stark geometries and restless spirit. Within the cylindrical core of a raw architectural shell, models drift between light and shadow, moving with the rhythm of the metropolis itself. On their bodies: the season’s defining silhouettes — from the Y-3 GENDO TRAIL and Y-3 TOKYO to the Y-3 STAN SMITH and Y-3 GSG9 BOOT — pieces that blur sport and style, function and poetry.
Highlights of the collection include garments with malleable wired appendages, allowing wearers to twist and reshape adidas’ iconic Three Stripes into living, shifting forms. It’s Yohji Yamamoto at his most uncompromising: performance reimagined as sculpture, sportswear recast as a canvas for self-definition.

Moriyama’s lens rejects perfection, capturing instead the texture of reality — grain, movement, atmosphere. Against today’s oversaturated landscape of slick fashion imagery, his photographs are deliberately unpolished, deeply human. Together with Y-3, he crafts a narrative of endurance and evolution, where rebellion is quiet, persistent, and alive in every frame.
The result is a campaign that feels both immediate and timeless — a reminder that Y-3 was never just about clothes, but about identity, attitude, and the constant reimagining of boundaries.
