MAISON YOSHIKI PARIS Unveils Cinematic Fashion Show Film Highlighting YOSHIKI’s Paris Fashion Week Debut

Global icon YOSHIKI has released the film of his striking cinematic runway show, which showcases the debut of his high fashion brand, MAISON YOSHIKI PARIS, at Paris Fashion Week. The long-awaited premiere was delayed due to YOSHIKI undergoing his third neck surgery, but now it has finally been released.

The film, directed by Yoshiki, blends his signature performance style with the elegance of his new collection, captured against the dramatic backdrop of the Palais de Chaillot.

Model and actress Paris Jackson made a surprise runway appearance, wearing two looks as YOSHIKI performed live, along with other high-profile models such as Grace Johnson, Georgia Palmer, and Lindsey Wixson who were also featured.

Many celebrities attended, including Rebel Wilson, Nicola Formichetti, and Hiroshi Fujiwara.

As a counterpoint to his dramatic all-black Fall Winter 2024 collection, which was shown at Milan Fashion Week, MAISON YOSHIKI PARIS Spring Summer 2025 asserts lightness featuring white as the base tone along with black accompanied by accents of pastel colors such as pistachio, and pastel lemon. Strikes of black and gold paint on white fabric are inspired by German-Franco Lyrical Abstractionist, Hans Hartung, while a nod to American Pop-Art from the 60s is found in the final looks closing the show: a series of simple geometric shift dresses featuring a jacquard fabric with YOSHIKI’s “pop-art” portrait.

MAISON YOSHIKI PARIS fuses YOSHIKI’s visions of fashion, design, and lifestyle with glamorous and genderless designs. The Spring Summer 2025 show featured 33 looks.

The collection exclusively uses French luxury fabrics, from thick cotton twill, cotton/linen blend tweed with iridescent accents, double silk organza, poplin, and Ruschel knit lace with a rich textured hand. The shapes are modern and edgy, accentuated by strategically positioned stitching and black contrasting zippers. There are references to the world of traditional kimonos which YOSHIKI has been experimenting with through his fashion line Yoshikimono, launched in 2011, and that are now revisited through an even more contemporary and international lens.

The jewelry throughout the collection has been designed exclusively for MAISON YOSHIKI PARIS by Juana Martín and features whimsical oversized musical notes and letters charms made in 14K gold.

About YOSHIKI:

YOSHIKI is the first and only Japanese artist to be honored with a hand and footprint ceremony at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood in nearly 100 years. YOSHIKI’s edgy, androgynous style, which began with his band X JAPAN, revolutionized the entertainment landscape of Asia in regard to makeup and fashion, and is a trailblazer who has influenced decades of artists, including today’s top K-Pop stars. At the 2023 MAMA Awards, the world’s top K-Pop award show, YOSHIKI became the first Japanese artist to be named “Favorite International Artist”.

YOSHIKI debuted his MAISON YOSHIKI PARIS collection earlier this year at Milan Fashion Week F/W 24/25 at the invitation of Camera Nazionale della Moda. The debut received overwhelming attention from major fashion media around the world and blew away both audiences and critics with YOSHIKI’s bold and innovative presentation.

In addition to MAISON YOSHIKI PARIS, the multi-faceted creator has introduced a new collection of crystal stemware in collaboration with French crystal maker Baccarat. YOSHIKI’s collaboration with Baccarat began in 2021 when he was selected as one of the designers to commemorate Baccarat’s 180th anniversary in 2021. This project also stems from YOSHIKI’s creation of Y by YOSHIKI wine with the Mondavi family in Napa, California, and the establishment of YOSHIKI’s own premiere Champagne brand with renowned French house POMMERY.

YOSHIKI launched Yoshikimono in 2009 as a fusion of tradition and innovation. Yoshikimono was chosen to be displayed at the prestigious V&A Museum in London and at the Musée du Quai Branly – Jacques Chirac in Paris alongside works from other
prominent fashion designers Alexander McQueen, Yves Saint Laurent, Jean-Paul Gaultier, and John Galliano. YOSHIKIMONO has headlined Tokyo Fashion Week multiple times since 2015, and he is the first Japanese male talent to be featured on the cover of Vogue Japan.

YOSHIKI is a composer, classically-trained pianist, rock drummer, and the leader of the rock group X Japan. YOSHIKI was named “one of the most influential musicians and composers in Japanese history” by Consequence and is described by Billboard as “a musical innovator”.

In 2023, YOSHIKI’s directorial debut feature film YOSHIKI: Under the Sky premiered in New York, Tokyo, London, and Los Angeles, followed by showings in over 130 theaters in the U.S., Europe, and Japan.

Statement from YOSHIKI:
MAISON YOSHIKI PARIS is a structure that will bring together all my creative activities in fashion, design, and lifestyle.

It’s the logical extension of Yoshikimono, which I created in 2011 and which until now focused on the art of the kimono, which was revisited in an edgy and contemporary way at the various Tokyo Fashion Weeks.

MAISON YOSHIKI PARIS, which has a more international vision, shares the values that are precious to me personally: sustainability, upcycling, short production circuits and, of course, genderless.

My personal relationship with fashion started when I was a child. My father ran a luxury kimono business and I’ve always been surrounded by textiles, craftsmanship and a real sense of elegance. Of course, as an artist, I’ve always taken care to look after my appearance and my looks, so I’ve always been interested in the international avant-garde fashion. From the outset, I’ve followed the collections of Alexander McQueen, Dior, Saint Laurent, and Versace, whom I’ve always admired, as well as other designers I like and wear.

Milan has always been a great source of inspiration for me. Its architecture, culture, museums and of course concert halls. In the context of MAISON YOSHIKI PARIS, Milan is undoubtedly the world’s fashion business capital with the greatest international artistic influences.

Obviously, the main sector of activity for MAISON YOSHIKI PARIS will be fashion. A range of women’s ready-to-wear but also genderless. Complete with the development of essential accessories such as shoes, bags and jewelry from the very first collection. Season after season, the range of products will grow in order to respond as much as possible to the different desires of my clients and customers (sunglasses, underwear …)

The next step for MAISON YOSHIKI PARIS is decisive: on February 20 at 8PM, the first show for my brand will happen during Milan Fashion Week. I’m going to do everything I can to make it edgy, striking, with a very spectacular impact on the public. In fact, it will be the starting point for the entire development of my fashion brand MAISON YOSHIKI PARIS.

The collection is feminine but also genderless with a very contemporary, edgy style and a touch of rock n roll which has always been important to me. In my opinion, it’s extremely creative, with a very showy finish. All the materials are very high-end, natural, and Italian or French. The collection currently consists of 37 looks, comprising a comprehensive range of products, all in black with subtle red accents.

The silhouettes are elongated, structured, and powerful. The range of materials includes a patchwork of smooth or tailored silk, silk velvet, faux fur, dry and stretch wools, and oversized sequins, creating a rhythmic stride for those who wear them. Naturally, denim features prominently in my collection, which I have chosen to reinterpret in various stages. I have created 8 spectacular silhouettes in collaboration with one of the best couture houses.

As for accessories, boots, glasses, and gloves have been meticulously handmade, along with the jewelry. Additionally, sneakers have been developed in partnership with the Japanese brand Grounds, a brand I admire.

I will choose MAISON YOSHIKI PARIS muses and ambassadors from the artists and singers of the new generation, whose style and personality will be most in tune with my ambition and vision.

In addition to its development in fashion, MAISON YOSHIKI PARIS will also be tackling lifestyle in collaboration with specialist French houses. For example, a collection of water glasses, wine glasses and champagne glasses will soon be launched in collaboration with BACCARAT. This is a collaborative project with the BACCARAT. Of course, this is directly linked to my work with Rob Mondavi, Jr. in Napa for my wines and my partnership with Pommery for my own champagne. I have always dreamed of offering my guests a prestigious glass service representative of my vision and made by the greatest French crystal maker.
