Sacai Fall 2025 Collection
In her Fall 2025 collection, Chitose Abe reaffirms her ability to fuse the conceptual with the commercial, exploring gesture in fashion with a unique sensibility. Through enveloping layers and unexpected contrasts, she transforms everyday garments into pieces that convey strength, protection and vulnerability.
Military jackets, structured blazers and down parkas are reinvented by integrating them with fringed knit panels or chiffon and silk scarves fused with blazers, creating a sense of elegant comfort. Abe resorts to structures that envelop the body as if embracing it, accentuating the emotional dimension of clothing.
The collection surprises with embellishments in unexpected places: sequins sprouting from cargo pants, fake feathers covering anoraks and faux fur details on knit dresses and flat shoes. In an artistic approach, Abe incorporates Man Ray’s iconic eyes and lips into leather minidresses, shirts and T-shirts, pieces that are shaping up to be collector’s items. “He captured the beauty of women with stories of their own,” Abe said, highlighting his vision of fashion as a reflection of female identity.
Sacai’s signature nylon parka returns in a design that falls over the shoulders as if hugging the body, while vests with front closures, skorts with side zippers and bias-cut leather skirts bring a sporty and avant-garde aesthetic.
Once again, Abe redefines the codes of fashion with a proposal that invites us to reinterpret the classics, opening up new possibilities for self-expression through clothing.
