Highlights of the 2026 A\/W Collection Shows<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cby R\u201d project aimed to support the Japanese Fashion Scene
hosted a runway show featuring iconic French fashion brand \u201cagn\u00e8s b.\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This season, title sponsor Rakuten Group, Inc. continued its by R project aimed to invigorate Japan\u2019s fashion scene and spread its appeal globally. For this installment, the iconic French fashion brand agn\u00e8s b. held a runway show in Tokyo for the first in in nearly a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The venue was the residence of the French Ambassador, a symbol of friendship between Japan and France. Although the residence is not typically open to the public, its doors were opened especially for invited guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Agn\u00e8s Troubl\u00e9, founder of agn\u00e8s b., Japan holds a special place in her heart. Just like France, Japan is a place where tradition and modernity coexist, and where the spirit of dedication to craftsmanship and a refined aesthetic is deeply rooted. Attendees were presented with a vinyl record produced special for the occasion. It featured a remix of \u201cSexy Boy,\u201d an iconic track by the French band AIR, with whom the brand has a longstanding relationship. The first look was presented by Aoi Yamada, a dancer with close ties to the brand. Her figure dancing freely down the runway exuded the elegance of falling cherry blossom petals. The flower also made an appearance in the runway through exclusive by R items featuring photographs of cherry blossoms taken by Agn\u00e8s herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cby R\u201d exclusive collection is now available on the online fashion retailer \u201cRakuten Fashion.\u201d Check the link below to view the full lineup of 35 by R exclusive items, including pieces featuring photographs taken by designer Agn\u00e8s Troubl\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u30fbFASHION PRIZE OF TOKYO 2026 Winners’ Homecoming Event<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the eve of the 2026 A\/W season, YOKE, the winner of the FASHION PRIZE OF TOKYO 2026, held a runway show as a celebratory event. Contrary to the men\u2019s show presented at Paris Fashion Week in January, this event featured exclusively women\u2019s wear. As the show began, the footage switched to side-view shots of the men\u2019s show in Paris. As the female models walked the runway, it seemed as though their shadows were being projected in real time, a characteristic YOKE-style visual effect that deepened the atmosphere of the venue. This season drew inspiration from the creations of sculptor Jean Arp. According to the theme \u201cBEYOND FORM,\u201d a minimalist yet subtly illusory silhouette was created using high-quality textiles, evoking the sculptor\u2019s surrealist works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
