FALL-WINTER 2025-26 collection Milan Fashion Show

Melancholy Essence with a Futuristic Flair

"As we continue the joyful spirit from last season, I am thrilled to introduce modern artist Izumi Kato as the key inspiration for the FW25 collection. Having immersed myself in his art, I became a true fan of his world. Kato doesn’t create art to ‘explain’ anything, saying, 'What the viewer thinks of the piece is more important than what I think.' This resonates deeply with me. I hope that the women who see and wear this collection will feel empowered to interpret it freely, styling it in their own unique ways."

Creative Director Izumi Ogino

The collection journeys through a landscape where past meets future, drawing from a "Melancholy Essence with a Futuristic Flair." It’s a world where the familiar feels reborn yet softened by a hint of longing. Neo-Nostalgia anchors the dynamic of collection, imbuing it with the warmth of the past, while a Modern Primitive approach infuses rawness and an earthy simplicity, with big inspiration from modern Artist Izumi Kato.

Izumi Kato’s work often explores themes of abstraction and concreteness, infused with a hint of childlike wonder and mystery. His playful forms, organic shapes, and vivid yet dark color palette inspire the ANTEPRIMA FW25 collection, which merges the abstract with the wearable to create a unique, eye-catching line for ANTEPRIMA. This inspiration translates into FW25 through imaginative designs that blur the lines between art and fashion, offering a fresh, captivating aesthetic.
