Details from the
Pillings SS25 show: 


The show took place at the Science Museum inside Kitanomaru Park, located within the defensive walls of the Imperial Palace and Edo Castle ruins. The venue immersed guests in nature and history in the heart of Tokyo.

The inspiration for the collection came from a reading of “Yoko,” a short story by Akutagawa Prize winning author and translator Yoshikichi Furui of the “Naikō no Sedai” or introverted generation. Furui’s undergraduate thesis was on Franz Kafka, referenced previously by designer Murakami in the Pillings AW23 collection prelude. 

Kara Chung, the self-taught multi-hyphenate artist, musician, and gamer took backstage photos. Sara Sozzani Maino and Nick Haramis sat front row at the show.
