Maison Mihara Yasuhiro unveiled its Fall Winter 2026 Collection on Friday, 23rd January, during Paris Fashion Week. Fashion photographer Sohom Das documented exclusive backstage moments for DSCENE Magazine, revealing garments shaped by drift, memory, and form.
BACKSTAGE
A prose poem titled Eternal Now framed the show and shaped its emotional register. The collection operated within a slowed tempo, allowing uncertainty and suspension to guide both mood and styling. That sensibility appeared immediately in the clothes, which did not offer completion and resolution.
Silhouettes relied on misalignment and altered proportion. Shirts slipped off shoulders, layers stacked without resolution, and garments appeared slightly displaced. A lavender pinstripe shirt worn loosely over a navy fleece quarter-zip suggested dressing without completion. These gestures recurred throughout the collection, creating looks that felt paused rather than resolved.
Tailoring referenced classic menswear while avoiding rigidity. Oversized charcoal suits paired with striped shirts, pocket squares, and regimental ties retained familiar codes, yet loose fits softened their authority. Circular blue sunglasses added a note of visual distortion.
Outerwear delivered the collection’s most defined moments. A cognac leather puffer jacket appeared quilted, glossy, and oversized, worn over an all-black base. Its exaggerated scale suggested garments carrying history. Other coats followed similar logic, favoring volume and weight over alignment.
Accessories reinforced the collection’s themes. Oversized eyewear altered facial proportion, bags hung without fixed placement, and footwear referenced the brand’s sneaker lineage while maintaining softened outlines. These elements supported an overall sense of looseness.
The color palette stayed restrained and muted. Lavenders, dusty pinks, and faded blues mixed with navy and black, avoiding sharp contrast. Fabrics suggested wear and familiarity, reinforcing the sense of memory embedded in the clothes.
Through this Fall Winter 2026 collection, Maison Mihara Yasuhiro proposed acceptance as a source of strength. The clothes embraced misalignment and uncertainty, presenting a vision shaped by lived experience and altered perception. The backstage moments captured by Sohom Das reveal a collection grounded in reflection, where dissonance functions as an honest record of time passing.
