【OVERVIEWS】
**Ground Y Black Draped Wrap Balloon Pants.**

Crafted from a double-crepe fabric with a finely textured surface and fluid drape, the material avoids an overly glossy finish, instead presenting a restrained matte appearance that creates subtle depth across the expansive black surface.

The most distinctive feature of this piece lies in its construction. Rather than following the conventional symmetrical structure of standard shorts, the body is formed through generous amounts of fabric that wrap, overlap, and fall around the wearer, creating a sculptural silhouette reminiscent of fabric being wound repeatedly around the body.

From the front, pronounced pleats and vertical volume emerge below the waistband, while broad panels extend outward along both sides. This gives the overall silhouette a hybrid character somewhere between cropped hakama trousers, culottes, and balloon pants.

Thanks to the fluidity of the fabric, the substantial width and volume do not create a stiff or overly inflated appearance. Instead, the material falls naturally downward, forming soft, irregular curves and layered surfaces.

The length falls approximately around the knee area, while the side and outer panels vary slightly in length, producing subtle asymmetry and an uneven hemline when worn.

Several narrow fabric ties extend naturally downward from the edges, introducing a sense of movement even when the garment is at rest.

The waist features an elasticated construction with a drawstring, providing greater flexibility than conventional tailored shorts with a fixed waistband.

At the same time, the waistband retains elements associated with traditional trouser construction, including belt loops and a front fly. These details preserve a clear trouser-based foundation despite the garment’s strongly deconstructed, skirt-like appearance.

The overall design reflects Ground Y’s characteristic approach to translating relaxed proportions and deconstructed design language into more wearable everyday pieces. Rather than relying on prints or decorative embellishment for visual impact, the silhouette is defined through fabric volume, overlapping construction, and the spatial relationship between garment and body.

It pairs naturally with long shirts, oversized tailored jackets, collarless outer layers, elongated tops, or simple black T-shirts. For the lower half, it can be styled with long socks, leggings, slim trousers, or bare lower legs, together with leather shoes, ankle boots, or platform footwear.

The result integrates easily into the black, oversized, and deconstructed styling language associated with Yohji Yamamoto, Ground Y, Y’s, and COMME des GARÇONS.

【TEXTILE】
Triacetate/polyester - also known as tuxedo fabric (de Chine)
The main textile during the SS season, the number of products launched is as many as this of the wool verda.
Excellent for those who want to keep their fashion style even in the middle of summer!

Tuxedo fabric is a common name given by Yohji Co., Ltd. itself, more accurately de Chine fabric.
de Chine uses sweet and strong lines for dense braiding, which is characterized by a fine texture on the surface.
The braided structure is different from the wool wardar. (Wrinkle gabarle is diagonal tissue, de Chine is plain tissue)
Therefore, the surface of decene is smoother, thinner, and feels smoother than GABA.
The Dehine fabric has higher instantaneous strength and agility and therefore also features a more dynamic movement
When the material moves, the air flows more easily and does not become viscous even when sweating.

In the summer months, de Chine seems more comfortable
Both have textured and relatively easy-to-move material on their surfaces.
Although there is a slight difference in gloss, it is within the acceptable range if considered as “depth and variation in black performance”.
If you have Wrinkle Gabber or de Chine on hand, give it a try!

・Anyway, it’s light, super light.
・Although it has a silky texture, it is not easy to wrinkle (also used in stage costumes)
・Machine washable (not recommended by Yoji Co., but feasible with proper operation)
