The Issey Miyake SS26 DANCING TEXTURE collection at Paris Fashion Week becomes a dialogue between Shoji Kamoda’s ceramics, Issey Miyake’s “a piece of cloth” philosophy, and the Japanese folktale of Tsukumogami—objects that awaken after years of silent existence.
“When modern life feels like it’s moving too fast, how to slow that down?”
Maison Margiela’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection takes the idea of “beautiful corpses”. With a calm, almost clinical eye, Margiela shows us what happens when beauty and rot, closeness and loss, become one. It’s a western take on the Japanese idea of mono no aware — the quiet sadness of things fading away. But here, there is no letting go. Instead, it’s an obsession that lingers beyond death.
