Story & heritage
Y/PROJECT’s Collapsable Waist Jeans sits inside the brand’s Martens-era language of distorted Parisian staples: familiar wardrobes re-cut through twist, modularity, or deliberate imbalance. The label became known for avant-garde tailoring, gender-fluid styling, and pieces engineered to be worn in more than one way.
It is part of the brand’s larger wardrobe of jeans, tailoring, and dresses that look familiar at first glance, then shift through an engineered detail.
Materials & craft
Farfetch lists the collapsable waist jeans in light-blue cotton denim with side button fastening, belt loops, classic five pockets, appliqué logo, and a straight leg.
The extra waist construction gives the jeans the appearance of a garment that can shift, fold, or be worn out of its expected alignment.
How to choose & style
Style it by letting the engineered detail do the work: keep surrounding pieces relatively direct, then echo one line, wash, or hardware tone from the item. For a quieter read, choose the most neutral colourway; for the full Y/PROJECT effect, let the twist, wire, or exaggerated proportion stay visible.
