LES SIX × JACKET

LES SIX is a Japanese fashion brand founded by Ryohei Kawanishi in 2017, emphasizing its unique design philosophy and strong social message. The brand name comes from "LES SIX," meaning "French Six," and incorporates a sharp perspective on past eras and cultures into fashion. LES SIX does not simply create clothing, but is committed to proposing "clothing that provokes thought" rather than "clothing to be consumed." Each season, the brand's collections feature a different theme, expressing sharp criticism of the era and social context. The brand's identity is emphasized by bold use of vintage-inspired camouflage patterns and banknote prints.

The AW25 collection, "PANTOKRATOR," takes its title from the Greek word meaning "Almighty," and presents a unique worldview that intertwines religious iconography with social commentary. Drawing inspiration from the symbols of Christian art, while simultaneously referencing historical memories such as the "burnout generation" and student protests, the collection visualizes through fashion the structures of power, faith, and desire that lie hidden in contemporary society. LES SIX's signature deconstructive approach features camouflage and patchwork patterns, projecting a chaotic social landscape directly into the silhouettes. While rooted in the context of streetwear, the collection as a whole transcends mere trend consumption and strongly connects with the realms of art and social criticism. LES SIX's consistently valued "pure sincerity in creation" remains intact, creating a challenging season that confronts society through fashion and reinterprets memory and symbolism.
