On my radar: Soshiotsuki
Congratulations to Soshi Otsuki, who just won the LVMH Prize.
Since launching as a menswear brand, Soshiotsuki, in 2015, his “distorted elegance” (also the name of his AW25 collection) in the tradition of Armani, Cerruti and even Studio Nicholson, now includes a number of women’s pieces.
To be specific, that means taking western men’s tailoring and filtering it through a Japanese lens – cardigan-soft fabrics, gentle gathering and draping, voluminous tailored trousers, enveloping knits – and juxtaposing them through careful styling.
I particularly love the knitwear and trouser combo with a shirt and tie (even though I would never wear a tie, I like the comfort-meets-formal tension). And the voluminous bomber jacket paired with full-legged pleat-front trousers and slim, low-positioned belts. I think I would dress it all down a notch with well-loved Converse high tops or Jack Purcells and perhaps a chain bracelet or two (a la A$AP Rocky). It could be fun to see some (credible) celebs – Tilda Swinton? Emma Corrin? – putting their spin on the look and I’m sure their stylists are already on the case.
