Presented in the Palais de Chaillot with the Eiffel Tower as its backdrop, the collection takes shape on a futuristic high-speed journey from East to West through a wardrobe re-imagining the Maison’s Train Show concepts from Fall-Winter 1998.

A cultural cross-pollination between dress codes, textures and patterns, is painted in a playful and preppy palette, invigorated by the energy of travel.

The show features a live concert by the American cellist and composer Erik Friedlander, who performs a repertoire of pieces curated by the Artistic Director Nigo.

The historical clothing archives of Nigo is re-interpreted through a contemporary lens. Suits are imbued with the untraditional tailoring language of fluffy textures and accents of powdery pastels.

Classic suit compositions assume Japanese constructions, and in new takes on the three-piece suit, jackets are spliced with kimono-cut waistcoats.

Celebrating a lifelong creative friendship, Nigo invites the American artist Futura 2000 to create imagery and iconography for the collection through a collaboration.
