For his Spring 2018 collection for Y/Project, designer Glenn Martens assembled a collage of looks that were…a lot: a shirt with too many pockets; a jacket with too many sleeves; a blouse that sprouted collars from its collar. The Paris-based Belgian designer took over Y/Project in 2013 after the death of founder Yohan Serfaty, and since then, he’s established himself as one of the strongest voices on the Paris circuit across both menswear and womenswear—for the brand, as ever, has hewed to a unisex aesthetic even as it expanded to a slot on the women’s calendar last year. This season, he continued to build on his signature hybrid of streetwear and workwear with a Renaissance flair and a cut of of-the-moment dad-core for good measure.
