The MAISON YOSHIKI PARIS SS 2025 collection debuted at the Palais de Chaillot during Paris Fashion Week this September, following its highly successful launch at Milan Fashion Week earlier this year.
In contrast to last season's dramatic, all-black Fall/Winter 2024 collection, Spring/Summer 2025 embraces lightness, with white as the central tone, complemented by black and soft pastel accents like pistachio and pastel lemon.
Bold black and gold brushstrokes on white fabrics draw inspiration from German-Franco Lyrical Abstractionist Hans Hartung, while a nod to 1960s American Pop Art appears in the final looks: geometric shift dresses featuring jacquard fabric with YOSHIKI’s portrait.
MAISON YOSHIKI PARIS blends YOSHIKI’s vision of fashion, design, and lifestyle with a glamorous, gender-neutral aesthetic.
The Spring/Summer 2025 collection exclusively features French luxury fabrics, including thick cotton twill, cotton-linen blend tweed with iridescent accents, double silk organza, poplin, and richly textured Ruschel knit lace.
Modern, edgy silhouettes are enhanced by precise stitching and bold black zippers. The collection also nods to traditional kimonos, a theme YOSHIKI has explored through his Yoshikimono line since 2011, now reinterpreted with a fresh, contemporary, and international perspective.
Jewellery, featuring whimsical 14K gold charms in the shape of oversized musical notes and letters.
YOSHIKI, the trailblazing Japanese artist, became the first from Japan to receive a hand and footprint ceremony at Hollywood’s Chinese Theatre in nearly a century. Known for his androgynous, edgy style that began with his band X JAPAN, YOSHIKI has revolutionized the entertainment and fashion scenes across Asia, influencing generations of artists, including leading K-Pop stars. In 2023, he made history again by becoming the first Japanese artist to win "Favorite International Artist" at the MAMA Awards, a top global K-Pop event.
In addition to his fashion line MAISON YOSHIKI PARIS, YOSHIKI has ventured into design collaborations, notably with French crystal maker Baccarat, launching a collection of crystal stemware in 2021 to mark Baccarat's 180th anniversary. This follows his creation of the Y by YOSHIKI wine with the Mondavi family and his own luxury Champagne brand with French house POMMERY. YOSHIKI also founded Yoshikimono in 2009, blending traditional and modern elements in kimono design, with his creations showcased at prestigious venues like the V&A Museum in London and the Musée du Quai Branly in Paris.
A multi-talented artist, YOSHIKI is a composer, pianist, and rock drummer, leading X JAPAN and being recognized as one of Japan's most influential musicians. In 2023, YOSHIKI made his directorial debut with YOSHIKI: Under the Sky, premiering in major cities like New York, Tokyo, and London, and screening in over 130 theaters across the U.S., Europe, and Japan.
