In celebration of the FIFA 2010 Soccer World Cup - through July 11, 2010 in South Africa -, the Y-3 (designed by Yohji Yamamoto for Adidas) Spring/Summer 2010 collection - shown for the first time in the Uptown Park Avenue Armory Building - took a global tour of modern sport style, rendered in the label's signature of elegant athleticism. Y-3 is where fashion and sport collide, a fact that was emphasized by the front-row presence of professional footballer Zinedine Zidane. A sport icon and contemporary legend in his own right, Zidane watched as models strode down the catwalk to a soundtrack of American rock classics, Michael Jackson, and symphonic national anthems. Others in attendance included Rufus Wainwright, Lupe Fiasco, Russell Simmons, Devon Aoki, Casey Spooner, Leigh Lezark, and Geordon Nicol.
