Y-3 Just Dropped a Limited-Run Vinyl of Its FW25 Presentation Score
Y-3is bringing its FW25 Presentation Score to physical format with a limited-run pressing of the Solitary Dancer-produced soundtrackY-3002on vinyl. On Monday morning,adidasandYohji Yamamoto's joint project was released in a hand-stamped and numbered batch of 333 copies via Bandcamp. Though the vinyl sold out almost immediately, the digital album remains available for purchase for $12 USD.
Theoriginal presentationoccurred at Pavillon Cambon in Paris last January, showcasing Yamamoto's tech-infused tailoring and elegant performance gear against a strobing LED-lit screen. Solitary Dancer, who previously collaborated with Y-3 for its return to the runway in SS25, described the music as 'an exploration of contrasts; light and dark, analog and digital, real and surreal.' The electronic music duo began collaborating in 2016, launching their first album with Midland's Graded Records.
Along with independent musical projects, the artists also collaborated withStone Islandfor itsMATERIAL RESEARCH '984 – '024'exhibition last year. The act's tie-up not only with Y-3, but also with Stone Island, emerges within the wave of sound-focused projects coming from fashion labels. Other recent initiatives likeKith's Limited EditionBose 901 Speaker,Valentino'sL'Atelier Sonorelistening room in New York City, andBalenciaga'sBritney Spears curated playlistillustrate just how much sonic branding is evolving in new forms.
