TAAKK Fall/Winter 2026 – 2027 at Paris Men’s Fashion Week

GRADIENT FABRICS, The gradient fabric is a material expression that symbolizes TAAKK’s spirit of innovation. This season, we have achieved a technique in which the material itself actually transforms into another, even with cotton used as the warp. Eliminating unnecessary sheen, the fabric attains a more natural texture, as cotton gradually transitions into wool, and wool into nylon. Within a single garment, different materials are continuously replaced, and the boundaries between them quietly dissolve. What these expressions share is neither an exaggeration of materials nor an imposition of meaning. Instead, TAAKK’s making begins by accepting what already exists—what is inherent—and allowing garments to emerge in the space between control and chance. This is the foundation of TAAKK’s approach to creation.

FUR MATERIALS, For the fur items, we chose not to produce new materials. Instead, we gathered leftover fur remnants from past production processes and constructed the pieces by patch working these fragments together. Without concealing their heterogeneity or seams, we sought a form that takes responsibility for both past choices and present desires. This approach is neither an attempt to justify the material nor to signal atonement. At a time when values surrounding fur are in flux, it represents one concrete expression of where TAAKK chooses to stand.

LEATHER MATERIALS / EMBROIDERY TECHNIQUES, At first glance, the leather items possess a solid and powerful presence, yet upon closer inspection they reveal an unexpectedly delicate and supple expression. The material used is Wagyu leather, a byproduct of Wagyu cattle raised for food. With a softness and fluidity comparable to sheep leather, it allows finely cut strips to be folded, layered, and stitched together, enabling a sculptural, three-dimensional expression. Strength and delicacy, weight and lightness quietly coexist within a single garment.

The embroidery in TAAKK FW26 / Fall/Winter 2026 – 2027 collection transcends differences in material, inscribing onto the surface of the garment the very process by which impulse takes form. Rather than tracing predetermined motifs as decoration, the embroidery emerges through repetition and fluctuation, guided by the artisan’s hand movements, variations in pressure, and the resistance felt at the needle’s tip. Here, intention does not seek to dominate everything; by embracing chance and distortion, form gains a more powerful presence.

JEWELRY, Minerals are crystallizations of time—mysterious entities that carry primordial memories. Without breaking down or refining their undifferentiated, heterogeneous forms, we embraced them as they are, translating their abundant vitality and dynamic energy directly into jewelry. This approach resonates deeply with the philosophy of the collection, which is shaped not through domination or control by intention, but through coexistence and affinity. TAAKK FW26 / Fall/Winter 2026 – 2027 collection was realized through the highly precise and distinctive craftsmanship of 4℃, a pioneer of fashion jewelry in Japan.

TAAKK’s approach to making is not about ornamenting materials. Instead, it begins with drawing out the inherent qualities and impulses that reside within them and allowing these forces to take form. Rather than decorating materials, this collection embodies TAAKK’s philosophy of giving form to the intrinsic properties and impulses that already exist within them.
