Y2Klean

A nine-piece men’s and women’s collection exploring nostalgia within an active-lifestyle wardrobe, held together by a boatneck collar.

Y2Klean was one of three main creative direction themes for the ’26 seasons. The boatneck collar across men’s and women’s references Jil Sander’s work in the late 90s.

Since I’m not a ’90s baby, truly researching what the Y2K era was, and what it should look like through a lifestyle lens, was fun and informative. The concept never made it through, but that doesn’t change how dope it is.
