KHOKI Spring/Summer 2027 at Rakuten Fashion Week Tokyo

KHOKI Spring/Summer 2027 / SS27 at Rakuten Fashion Week Tokyo

Rakuten Group launched the “by R” project in an effort to reinvigorate Japan’s fashion scene and broadcast its appeal globally. “KHOKI,” a brand which garnered global attention after being selected as a semifinalist for the LVMH Prize 2024 and named one of the “10 Asian Designers to Watch” in 2025, returned this season to present KHOKI SS27 / Spring/Summer 2027.

The Terada Warehouse venue featured elaborate sets including a kitchen and even a bedroom, making it feel as if you were in someone’s home space. Approximately half of the props used in the show were supplied from the homes of members of the KHOKI design team.

The starting point for KHOKI SS27 / Spring/Summer 2027 collection was a room in the designer’s childhood home in Yamanashi. The vast array of set items was like emptying out a treasure chest of memories—revealing the roots of the designer through the scenery of their childhood home. This season, the designer added an over-the-top essence reminiscent of stage costumes to their collection. Details from costumes and military uniforms the designer had used to collect were incorporated into the items and styling.

A jacket featuring “Dumbo” particularly stood out amongst KHOKI SS27 / Spring/Summer 2027 collection, and has been reported to be part of an upcoming collaboration between Dover Street Market and Disney. A member of the design team commented on the show, saying, “I think we’ll be able to convey the brand’s appeal to people who haven’t experienced KHOKI until now. I’m really looking forward to what’s next.”

This memorable evening was attended by various celebrities sporting KHOKI originals, including UTA, Fuju Kamio, and Tsubasa Honda.
