Ambush Spring 2027 Ready-to-Wear: Yoon Ahn Returns to Roots with Modular, Primal Collection
Yoon Ahn presented Ambush's Spring 2027 ready-to-wear collection in Tokyo, marking a return to the brand's roots after she and partner Verbal reacquired ownership in April 2025. The collection blends urban streetwear with wilderness-inspired elements, featuring modular designs with extra zips and fastenings that allow pants to transform into shorts. Notable pieces include a reversible MA-1 bomber in squishy nylon and a matching skirt with thigh-riding buckles. Primal motifs like painted wolves, bright camo prints, and furry bag strap detailing appear throughout. The palette ranges from oxidized copper and wet concrete to mossy green and cobalt. Ahn drew inspiration from Clarissa Pinkola Estés's 1992 book Women Who Run with the Wolves, exploring the tension between societal expectations and nature in Tokyo. The collection aims to recapture the energy that propelled Ambush to fame in the 2010s, with Ahn emphasizing a desire to be 'more in the body' rather than living in fashion fantasy.
