somewhere that is not here. Or perhaps, the
extraordinary that lies seamlessly alongside the everyday.
ORIMI’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection captures the
blurred, mist-like sense of alienation and drift within
Tokyo’s orderly, inorganic urban space, and disrupts the
contours of natural, authentic daily wear by gently
distorting them—loosening the boundary lines of the
everyday.
A sharply shouldered tailored jacket with skewed front
buttons; a jumpsuit where jacket and trousers merge;
jeans and trousers with an extremely deep rise. These
silhouettes, deviating from the balance of conventional
garments, summon forth an awkward body charged with
tension. A frilled shirt embedded with wire at the hem
becomes a device for probing boundaries through its
distorted undulations, while a shoulder bag clinging to
the body like a swelling disrupts its shape, generating
irregular pleats.
Orimi’s gaze is consistently drawn not to the dynamism
of the grotesque, but to the voids drifting within an
atmosphere of ennui and slackness. Clothing honed yet
left deliberately incomplete bears a poetry of decadence,
and while dissolving into the orderly, sophisticated
everyday landscape of Tokyo, brings with it a subtle
sense of dissonance.
“The clash between my own inner cynicism—as a kind of
foreign body—and the city of Tokyo has always been at
the root of my creation,” says Orimi. Following the
brand’s first runway presentation in Spring/Summer 2025,
the ambivalent emotions of belonging and isolation in
Tokyo have softened, expanding into an exploration of
new proportions in contemporary menswear.
Styling this season is by longtime friend Leung Pak Ting,
now based in Stockholm. Sharing a sensibility for years
through the common languages of music and fashion,
welcoming such an intimate collaborator felt like a
natural way to anchor the brand within the reality of
everyday life.
