Belgian fashion designer Glenn Martens presented Y/Project’s Spring Summer 2020 collection under the arches of Pont Alexandre III, during the ongoing Paris Fashion Week.
Spring Summer 2020 Womenswear
Over the past 6 years, Glenn Martens has broadened the realm of creative possibilities at Y/PROJECT, inventing his own aesthetic language that he likes to reinterpret and twist. This season, he brings back from his early collections the trompe l’oeil spiral print, where optical illusions accentuate the woman’ silhouettes, but also delicate lace details and the preppy multiple V-neck sweater, building up on the brand’s heritage. – from Y-Project
Transmuted historical references anchor the collection in eclectic artistic landscapes: the dramatic gowns, now a much anticipated moment every season, seem to come straight out of the Middle Age or the Tudor era. Bavarian dirndl corsets are enhanced with effusions of taffeta concealing generous cleavages. The characteristic optimism and profusion of the Belle Epoque run through the collection. -from Y-Project
