Y/Project SHOES

Royal Academy of Antwerp graduate Glenn Martens worked under iconic French designer Jean Paul Gaultier and founded his own namesake label before taking the reigns at Parisian unisex label Y/Project in 2013. Extracting inspiration from an eclectic mélange of historical and subcultural references, the Belgian designer brings a radically experimental vision to the brand’s design frontier. Gender-bending silhouettes and unconventional constructions push the codes of creativity to new extremes in endlessly modifiable combinations. With an emphasis on innovation, Y/Project fuses street-culture energy into unisex looks while the label’s array of avant-garde accessories reimagines a new landscape for designer assets.
