Black cocoons gave way to crimson blooms. Skulls wore garlands. Flight jackets became dresses. Kei Ninomiya built a gothic argument for optimism, and it held its ground the whole runway.
All in runway
Junya Watanabe FW26
Gowns built from motorcycle helmets, picture frames, stuffed animals, and stiletto boots. Irina Shayk opened. Accordion music played. Junya Watanabe called it "The Art of Assemblage Couture." He meant it.
Comme des Garcons FW26

AVAVAV FW26

It was the most psychologically precise fashion performance of the season.
