Sacai debuts James Dean-inspired SS25 collection in Shanghai
Japanese luxury fashion brand Sacai presented its 2025 Spring/Summer preview at Shanghai’s Qiantan Taikoo Li. The collection, designed by Chitose Abe, features her signature approach of deconstructing and reinterpreting familiar shapes and proportions. Drawing inspiration from actor James Dean, Abe incorporated elements of his curiosity, honesty, and freedom into the designs. This season’s womenswear includes strong architectural shoulder lines and exaggerated pant silhouettes, applied to classic pieces with a modern twist. The collection emphasizes a mix of unexpected shapes and proportions, staying true to Sacai's distinctive aesthetic.
