Keisuke Yoshida Channels Lost Fashion Spirit for Tokyo Spring 2027

other · 2026-07-20

Keisuke Yoshida presented his Tokyo Spring 2027 collection inside the Seibu Shibuya department store, in a former Hermès boutique now used as a gallery space. The collection responds to the rising inaccessibility of high fashion, which Yoshida believes has slipped out of reach for average consumers. He incorporated power blazers and souvenir T-shirts from 1980s and 1990s catalogues, blending them with his signature businesslike eroticism by cinching waists of safari jackets and office shirts to emphasize broad-shouldered V-shaped silhouettes. He removed the throat-clasping scarves from previous collections, unbuttoning shirts to the navel for a more relaxed look with popped collars. The iconic Seibu Shibuya department store, a bastion of fashion retail in Tokyo for 58 years, will close in September 2027. Yoshida aims to preserve the spirit of fashion from his youth for the next generation.
