However, this movement to return to one’s home country was by no means a “regression”; rather, reconsidering one’s “identity” became an opportunity to create new creations. For the cover, we selected looks from two brands that were notable for this. “Calvin Klein Collection” from New York and “Burberry” from London. Buy the paper version ​ Buy electronic

Decorative essences, which are already common on runways in other cities, were also visible. Based on the elegant real clothes that are typical of New York, the intellectual and core “conscious glamor” style, which is not flashy, is sure to give you new inspiration for your style. At a time when London is increasingly looking inward due to the harsh economic situation, creations that return to the origins of “British style” are standing out. “Fluid Classic” is a new British style that expresses structured items with soft textures and loosens tradition with a unique silhouette.

We have exclusive interviews with two key people who support Adrian Joffé, CEO of Comme des Garçons
International (CDGI) and CEO of Dover Street Market (DSM). Another topic was the increase in the number of Tokyo brands holding shows from December 2024 to February 2025, ahead of Rakuten Fashion Week Tokyo in March. We have selected six brands that have held shows on their own schedule with the aim of expanding overseas.
