Stylee Fridays: Yohji/Y-3 Store Opening

story THE FADER

Like a triangular pod of stylish goodness, the new Yohji Yamamoto store landed on earth (the Meatpacking District) earlier this week. It’s been almost 20 years since the flagship store in SoHo opened its doors, so we figured Yohji would have something special up his sleeve—namely a two hit combo—the first ever Y-3 store in New York right across the street. The twin-openings just happened to land smack bang in the middle of fashion week, and what with the inter-store traffic might just have been the largest congregation of effortlessly well-dressed folk we’ve seen all week. Naturally, the keynote was black, right down to a Chicago Blackhawk Jersey we spotted on one partygoer. Check the full-size images after the jump.
