Maison Mihara Yasuhiro Spring 2025 Runway, Show and Ready-to-Wear Collection Review

Maison Mihara Yasuhiro reflected on the idea that people lose their essence to the superficial in the age of social media. The Japanese designer has long channeled the innocent enthusiasm of an inner child into his designs – he believes people get too serious when adulthood hits – by relying on favorite clothes that don’t quite fit them , vintage-inspired torn silhouettes and faded hues like a photograph aged for several seasons.

With his “Persona” collection, he once again explores the notion, but takes it in a new, no less poetic direction. Its oversized proportions were less omnipresent. Instead, he chose to focus on the back of his designs – details that were therefore impossible to photograph in the usual fashion show fashion; you had to be there in real life.

Baggy jeans or jogging pants lay on the floor, sewn to the back of matching Bermuda shorts. A giant striped men’s shirt was sewn onto a bustier to make a dress, and other shirts were pinned over the shoulders, like a cape. The denim and sportswear pieces were adorned with childish sticker designs, while her knits were eminently distressed. A backless trench coat was layered over a translucent pleated skirt and a gold sequined dress pinned to the front of another look, one sleeve hanging empty against the body.

The creations were accompanied by Yasuhiro’s iconic plush toys, in the form of shoulder bags or toys to carry around, like Peter Pan.

The fun-loving designer always has a surprise in store when it comes to staging, often featuring live music in his exhibits. This season, as the giant screen above the podium lit up and the music started, audience members stood up one by one and began singing their hearts out to karaoke, leaving the guests in shock .
