Get an exclusive look at Sacai‘s innovative Spring 2025 men’s fashion show from the runways of Paris Men’s Fashion Week, held in June 2024.
Chitose Abe Serves Avant-Garde Americana
Chitose Abe’s Spring 2025 collection for Sacai followed in the footsteps of her fellow designers this season and embraced a simplified aesthetic, featuring vintage prints and a quote which highlighted the essence of discovery.
Drawing inspiration from James Dean’s signature style and Japanese Americana, the collection showcased James Dean-themed T-shirts, slouchy trousers with sculptural pockets, and leather jackets. Abe’s signature splicing technique was pared back for the menswear on show, and introduced a new cleaner narrative for the designer.
Collaborations with Levi’s, J.W. Weston, WTAP, and Nike introduced unique pieces, while the show’s set design, a wooden house framework, symbolized the theme of growth and self-discovery.
