Yohji Yamamoto, the force behind Y-3 partnered up with Adidas in the Spring of '03, and the line "has proved itself critically and commercially and inspired similar matchups.  We spotted Amanda Hearst and Luigi Tadini front and center at his Spring '09 presentation this week. More on the designer:

"In addition to the admiration of his peers (Donna Karan wears Yamamoto), he’s has acquired numerous awards. He’s the only Japanese designer to receive France’s Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et Lettres. Not only does Yamamoto dress a large chunk of the international arts community, he’s also collaborated on film projects with Wim Wenders, Takeshi Kitano, and Ryuichi Sakamoto, and done costumes for the Pina Bausch Company and the Wagner Opera."
