Sacai, Japan’s biggest fashion powerhouse, brought the wild side to Paris Fashion Week with a collection that reimagined childhood nostalgia through a lens of cutting-edge design

Weathered denim and six-button jackets brought a touch of sophistication to the nostalgic energy, blending vintage charm with precise tailoring. The collection’s footwear — chunky loafers and revisited Mary Janes — added playful contrast, grounding the designs in an approachable yet avant-garde aesthetic.

Singer FKA Twigs cut an otherworldly figure as she arrived at Rick Owens’ show with a part-shaven bouffant, an array of — presumably temporary — face tattoos and over-the-knee boots that moved like the bellows of an accordion.

This season’s collections from Amiri, Wales Bonner, and Willy Chavarria offer multiple points of cultural exploration.
