Textile Alchemy by TAAKK, Paris Men Fall/Winter 2025-26 | FashionTV | FTV

Check out the fall/winter 2025-2026 show of TAAKK presented at Paris Fashion Week! The collection is a deeply personal exploration of innovation and surrealism, rooted in designer Takuya Morikawa's childhood memories. Inspired by his father's robotic inventions and his mother's Rene Magritte art book, Morikawa aims to challenge norms and reveal hidden possibilities through his designs. The collection features a fusion of seemingly disparate fabrics and garments, such as leopard print and denim, wool and herringbone, and souvenir jackets transforming into tailored jackets, creating visual paradoxes and "depaysement." New materials, like a mixture of wool and denim created through a special fusing process, and gradient woven fabrics, demonstrate Morikawa's commitment to fabric innovation. Fur appears to grow out of wool tweed and cotton, adding another layer of surreal texture to the collection.
