Sacai Unveils 'Where the Wild Things Are'-Inspired Fall/Winter 2025 Collection at Paris Fashion Week

Japanese designer Chitose Abe reimagines childhood nostalgia with hybrid silhouettes, faux fur, and functional outdoor-inspired designs.

Sacai's Fall/Winter 2025 collection draws inspiration from Maurice Sendak's classic children's book 'Where the Wild Things Are,' blending whimsical themes with cutting-edge fashion.
The collection features faux fur elements incorporated into hybrid silhouettes, including knit bombers, skirts, oversized scarves, and utility suits with a beastly aesthetic.
Collaborations play a key role, with Carhartt WIP workwear staples reimagined in leather and corduroy, and new partnerships with UGG and J.M. Weston introducing shearling boots and wild cow-print footwear.
The designs balance functionality and creativity, with accessories like branded water bottles, utility bags, and expedition-inspired gear emphasizing an outdoorsy, modern aesthetic.
The runway presentation, set against a desert-themed backdrop, highlighted themes of climate unpredictability and adaptability, reflecting Sacai's evolving approach to design and silhouette experimentation.
