“Until now, each season has been driven by my longing for mode.
Yet, before I realised it,
I was spending more time confronting the spirit of the age and the
landscapes of my own mind than engaging with the garments themselves.
Now, I feel the need to return to the clothes—to begin again from a position that places greater
weight on the perspective of someone who truly loves clothing.
That awareness gradually took root as I worked on this collection” ,
Keisuke Yoshida reflects.

Without classifying clothes into categories, he regards each piece on equal terms,
adopting the standpoint of the wearer.
For FALL/WINTER 2026, the distinct signifying character inherent in each garment is re-edited;
from classical references in the history of fashion to contemporary everyday wear,
all are presented in parallel under the code of KEISUKEYOSHIDA.

Tailored jackets of classical bearing are rendered in cashmere beaver and wool flannel,
while Chesterfield coats appear in wool kersey and Italian herringbone.
A short coat in a cocoon silhouette crafted from is constructed from heavily ribbed wool kersey, 
its silhouette echoed in a nylon track jacket.
A Chesterfield coat in wool beaver is cut with dolman sleeves that swell at the back and taper towards the hem.
A field jacket unfolds at the rear, the back panel spreading behind the sleeves like a cape or mantle.
Front-frilled nylon racing shirts, silk shirts detailed with fine hand ruching,
and chiffon tops in a tulip print shaped with vertical pleats into a balloon silhouette.
Long-collar jackets, shirts, skirts and trousers in denim with a satin-like sheen.
Dolman-sleeved mountain jackets and fleece half-zip tops.
Barrel-line trousers and skirts constructed in wool georgette and rayon jersey.

A disjunction emerges between fantastical garments born of emotion and the reality of the body.
Between himself as a maker devoted to mode and himself as one who loves fashion
— that is, the act of wearing clothes — lies a divided yet affirmative duality.
The recognition and affirmation of this contradictory,
divided duality became the catalyst for turning once again towards clothing for real bodies — that is,
towards the fullness of fashion dispersed throughout everyday life,
as the designer himself experienced from boyhood through adolescence.

As eras shift and the richness of fashion slips away, and as beauty loses its reality,
how is the designer to connect them to the present?
This is not a fleeting question confined within a single collection,
but the discovery of a proposition to be grappled with repeatedly over a long span of time.
Yoshida continues to confront the magic of fashion
— its power to bring a measure of rawness to an increasingly homogenised and frictionless world.
