The AW25 collection marks a pivotal reexamination of tailoring, as Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO challenges its own legacy by distorting conventional silhouettes and methods, pushing beyond traditional suit-making into more abstract forms of garment construction.
An inversion of logic defines the dual-blouson structure, where two jackets of varying sizes are stitched together using upside-down docking, a literal and conceptual flip of form that redefines the purpose and process of tailoring.
Pants become sleeves and structure becomes fluid, as the collection embraces deconstructivism through recontextualized patterns, playfully converting expectations of fit and function into philosophical gestures.
The collection’s narrative stems from a personal paradox, as Yasuhiro’s reflection on a simple question—“Where do you like to travel?”—turns into a meditation on inertia, discomfort, and the longing to escape one’s own limitations.
AW25 is not just about clothing, but about cognitive dissonance, embodying garments that feel simultaneously nostalgic and alien, structured and collapsing, stable and unmoored.
The OLIVER sneaker makes its debut this season, a collaborative project born from General Scale. and AUTRY, crafted in Italy and embodying a resistance to trend-driven design in favor of authenticity.
AUTRY’s iconic MEDALIST sneaker is reborn with aged, seared soles, maintaining its classic shape while embracing a new layer of timeworn texture that mirrors the collection’s reverence for decay and contradiction.
The use of “tailoring” becomes almost ironic, as the brand wrestles with the idea of precision in a world increasingly driven by immediacy, speed, and superficial polish.
Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO AW25 is the sixth chapter of “A Little Paradox,” a conceptual journey through discomfort and identity that, season after season, offers a window into the designer’s evolving introspection.
Available now at MIHARAYASUHIRO.JP, the AW25 collection invites wearers not only to dress differently—but to think differently, too. Here, clothing becomes both question and escape.
