Who are you again?

Mihara Yasuhiro’s latest collection turns a reflective eye on what it means to be “ordinary” in a world where fashion has often blurred into a game of surface and persona. Rooted in a sense of memory and forgetfulness, the show captures those moments when faces and names slip away, leaving only a vague familiarity, something more common now where screens and real life blend with one another. It’s a quietly human theme that runs through the collection’s layered garments, each piece hinting at the complex emotions beneath our everyday facades.

Drawing on his early experiments from the late ’90s, Mihara revisits the union of denim jackets and MA-1 flight jackets, twisting and reassembling their codes into new shapes, contemporary then and contemporary now. Front and back switch places; sleeves multiply and shift; silhouettes become flexible and unexpected. This play with form mirrors the contradictory nature of identity, where the ordinary holds a deeper, tangled complexity, and where our lack of memory often results in the creation of brand-new notions from a vague, preexistent one.

Materials remain practical and familiar—denim, cotton, soft knits—yet the construction is what holds the meaning and the character of each garment. The four-sleeved coats and reconfigurable shirts suggest the many ways we present ourselves, shaped by mood and circumstance, allowing us to shift according to the situation, proving how the human behind the clothing is always right under the surface, caught between a calm exterior and turbulent interior, some days feeling a lot, some days feeling nothing.

Adding to the tension, graffiti-inspired graphics and tags by Navinder Nangla scatter across hoodies, tees, and jeans, disrupting the traditional codes and the classic materials with a raw chaotic energy. Drawing from his own experience with dyslexia, Nangla’s work transforms limitations into creative freedom, echoing the collection’s core message: within the ordinary, there is something extraordinary, a paradox that makes simplicity meaningful.
