Seeing Beacon’s music refracted through the stylistic prisms of their contemporaries has yielded more than a few exciting experiments. Spanning several remix albums since 2013, the New York-based duo have invited edits from Fort Romeau, Kim Ann Foxman, Tomas Barfod and others. They continue the tradition with Gravity Pairs Remixes, out September 13th, 2019 on Ghostly International. This edition features three distinct takes on singles from their 2018 LP. Ghostly labelmate Helios brings his trademark warble to “Bending Light,” enhancing the original’s brightness as well as its percussive climb to cinematic effect. Montréal’s CRi, best known for his work on Anjunadeep and TOKiMONSTA’s esteemed Young Art label, spins “Be My Organ” into a euphoric dance track, recasting vocal snippets as anthemic refrains. “On Ice” is thoroughly melted by Elkka, rising London-based DJ, producer, and founder of the label and art collective femme culture.

TweetFor Fall/Winter 2019, adidas and Yohji Yamamoto reinterpret each other’s design codes and greatest hits — adidas takes on Yohji and Yohji takes on adidas — to create a collection of timeless apparel and innovative footwear that are rooted in each other’s histories.
In the design process, Yamamoto and adidas isolated three decades critical to each other’s development: the ’70s, the ’80s, and the ’90s. Pulling references from these eras, the collaborators began to edit, alter, adapt, and remake silhouettes, shapes, colorways, and fabrics — infusing classic Yamamoto designs with elements of adidas innovation while reimagining iconic adidas pieces in the design language of Yamamoto.
In part two of the Fall/Winter 2019 campaign, themes of contrast and duality are expressed in stark studio imagery that remains true to the signature graphic look of adidas while conjuring a poetic, essential mood that is pure Yamamoto. Against a cool dark gray backdrop, models create bold silhouettes and wear strong, progressive looks; production, technology, and innovation take center stage. Photographed by Yvan Fabing and styled by Marie Chaix, the campaign reveals minimalist technical knit dresses, pants, and sweaters in black and white with contrasting stacked logo motifs — pieces that serve as testament to the power of simplicity.
In corresponding campaign films, Fabing creates visual stories around the construction of these key pieces, highlighting their technical features. Their effortless looks belie the forward-thinking methods of design and production that are a hallmark of Y-3.
Finally, new-season footwear looks to the past to inform the present. Y-3 evolves its legacy of breaking boundaries with the durable Y-3 Kyoi Trail, a confident reinterpretation of the trail runner, executed in heavy textile and leather uppers that are primed for winter. The shoe features breathable mesh interiors and a thick collar and tongue for enhanced comfort and relief. The Yohji Yamamoto signature adorns its side.
The Fall/Winter 2019 collection will launch on September 19th at Y-3 flagship stores, Y-3.com, and select retailers worldwide.
