      2027 S\/S Season Collection Highlights<\/strong><\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

      Tokyo-based brand KHOKI<\/a> held a runway show as part of \u201cby R,\u201d a project aimed at revitalizing Japan’s fashion scene and showcasing its appeal globally<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Rakuten Group launched the \u201cby R\u201d project with an aim of revitalizing Japan\u2019s fashion scene and showcasing its appeal\u00a0 globally. KHOKI<\/a><\/strong>, which has garnered global attention after being named a semifinalist for the LVMH Prize 2024 and selected as one of the \u201c10 Asian Designers to Watch\u201d for 2025, held a fashion show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The Terada Warehouse venue featured elaborate sets including a kitchen and even a bedroom, making it feel as if you were in someone\u2019s home space. Approximately half of the props used in the show were supplied from the homes of members of the KHOKI<\/a><\/strong> design team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The starting point for the collection was a room in the designer\u2019s childhood home in Yamanashi. The vast array of set items was like emptying out a treasure chest of memories\u2014revealing the roots of the designer through the scenery of their childhood home. This season, the designer added an over-the-top essence reminiscent of stage costumes to their collection. Details from costumes and military uniforms the designer had used to collect were incorporated into the items and styling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      A jacket featuring \u201cDumbo\u201d particularly stood out amongst the collection, and has been reported to be part of an upcoming collaboration between Dover Street Market and Disney. A member of the design team commented on the show, saying, \u201cI think we\u2019ll be able to convey the brand\u2019s appeal to people who haven\u2019t experienced KHOKI<\/a><\/strong> until now. I\u2019m really looking forward to what\u2019s next.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      To celebrate the brand\u2019s participation in \u201cby R,\u201d we\u2019re currently offering special items that embody KHOKI<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s signature storytelling\u2014such as an appliqu\u00e9 shirt featuring an updated version of the popular castle motif.
