One highlight we can’t overlook is Khoki. The brand’s Fall collection showcased its increasingly confident identity through an unexpected mix of elements. Workwear jackets, pearl-studded fleeces, and graphic shirts—one featuring a giant castle design—blended seamlessly with cross-stitched figures of animals and trees on down jackets, all fitting perfectly within the woodland-themed setting.
The collection struck a balance between sweetly strange and effortlessly wearable, offering lace-embroidered hoodies, tailoring, and denim pieces.
Designer Koki Abe drew inspiration from his Yamanashi hometown and childhood memories of the forest, bringing them to life on the runway. The set, constructed with bags of leaves, was intended to capture the forest’s eerie atmosphere, but ultimately evoked its mysterious beauty instead.
