Y’s for men will unveil its collaboration collection with MASSES as part of the Spring / Summer 2026 season, launching on Saturday, February 14.
This second collaboration between Y’s for men and MASSES comes to life through a shared ethos: an independence from trends, a preference for rugged and powerful design, and a deep respect for craftsmanship. By intersecting Y’s for men’s tailored, heritage-driven approach with MASSES’ vintage culture–informed sensibility, the collection is shaped by the dialogue between two distinct yet aligned perspectives.
Designed for the spring and summer season, the lineup features items crafted from lightly fulled fabrics with an airy hand, alongside linen and rayon materials selected for their exceptional comfort. Tailored sets using MASSES’ original textile designs add depth and dimensionality to the collection, expanding its stylistic range.
The collection is further enriched by casual pieces such as denim pants, denim jackets, and souvenir jackets (Vietnam jackets), each created with a profound understanding of vintage references. These elements introduce a new facet to the Y’s for men universe. Through the layering of vintage-inspired details onto precisely constructed tailored silhouettes, the collaboration reveals a distinctive aesthetic unique to this partnership.
The visual imagery and film for this collection are original works shot exclusively by photographer TAKAY.

MASSES
Embracing the chaos of information with a forward-looking mindset, MASSES constructs its products through remixing and mashups - sometimes from an opposing perspective. Its philosophy of moving forward while reflecting on the past creates a shared sensibility that leads to new balances in design. Garments are created with an archival approach: rather than deleting, elements are concealed and preserved, allowing them to re-emerge when needed—granting clothing an infinite sense of time.
