MAISON YOSHIKI PARIS Unveils Cinematic Fashion Show Film Highlighting YOSHIKI’s Paris Fashion Week Debut

Global icon YOSHIKI has released the film of his striking cinematic runway show, which showcases the debut of his high fashion brand, MAISON YOSHIKI PARIS, at Paris Fashion Week. The film, directed by Yoshiki, blends his signature performance style with the elegance of his new collection, captured against the dramatic backdrop of the Palais de Chaillot.

Model and actress Paris Jackson made a surprise runway appearance, wearing two looks as YOSHIKI performed live, along with other high-profile models such as Grace Johnson, Georgia Palmer, and Lindsey Wixson who were also featured.

Many celebrities attended, including Rebel Wilson, Nicola Formichetti, and Hiroshi Fujiwara.

As a counterpoint to his dramatic all-black Fall Winter 2024 collection, which was shown at Milan Fashion Week, MAISON YOSHIKI PARIS Spring Summer 2025 asserts lightness featuring white as the base tone along with black accompanied by accents of pastel colors such as pistachio, and pastel lemon. Strikes of black and gold paint on white fabric are inspired by German-Franco Lyrical Abstractionist, Hans Hartung, while a nod to American Pop-Art from the 60s is found in the final looks closing the show: a series of simple geometric shift dresses featuring a jacquard fabric with YOSHIKI’s “pop-art” portrait.

MAISON YOSHIKI PARIS fuses YOSHIKI’s visions of fashion, design, and lifestyle with glamorous and genderless designs. The Spring Summer 2025 show featured 33 looks.

The collection exclusively uses French luxury fabrics, from thick cotton twill, cotton/linen blend tweed with iridescent accents, double silk organza, poplin, and Ruschel knit lace with a rich textured hand. The shapes are modern and edgy, accentuated by strategically positioned stitching and black contrasting zippers. There are references to the world of traditional kimonos which YOSHIKI has been experimenting with through his fashion line Yoshikimono, launched in 2011, and that are now revisited through an even more contemporary and international lens.

The jewelry throughout the collection has been designed exclusively for MAISON YOSHIKI PARIS by Juana Martín and features whimsical oversized musical notes and letter charms made in 14K gold.

YOSHIKI

YOSHIKI is the first and only Japanese artist to be honored with a hand and footprint ceremony at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood in nearly 100 years. YOSHIKI’s edgy, androgynous style, which began with his band X JAPAN, revolutionized the entertainment landscape of Asia in regard to makeup and fashion, and is a trailblazer who has influenced decades of artists, including today’s top K-Pop stars. At the 2023 MAMA Awards, the world’s top K-Pop award show, YOSHIKI became the first Japanese artist to be named “Favorite International Artist”.

YOSHIKI debuted his MAISON YOSHIKI PARIS collection earlier this year at Milan Fashion Week F/W 24/25 at the invitation of Camera Nazionale della Moda. The debut received overwhelming attention from major fashion media around the world and blew away both audiences and critics with YOSHIKI’s bold and innovative presentation.

In addition to MAISON YOSHIKI PARIS, the multi-faceted creator has introduced a new collection of crystal stemware in collaboration with French crystal maker Baccarat. YOSHIKI’s collaboration with Baccarat began in 2021 when he was selected as one of the designers to commemorate Baccarat’s 180th anniversary in 2021. This project also stems from YOSHIKI’s creation of Y by YOSHIKI wine with the Mondavi family in Napa, California, and the establishment of YOSHIKI’s own premiere Champagne brand with renowned French house POMMERY.

YOSHIKI launched Yoshikimono in 2009 as a fusion of tradition and innovation. Yoshikimono was chosen to be displayed at the prestigious V&A Museum in London and at the Musée du Quai Branly – Jacques Chirac in Paris alongside works from other prominent fashion designers Alexander McQueen, Yves Saint Laurent, Jean-Paul Gaultier, and John Galliano. YOSHIKIMONO has headlined Tokyo Fashion Week multiple times since 2015, and he is the first Japanese male talent to be featured on the cover of Vogue Japan.

YOSHIKI is a composer, classically-trained pianist, rock drummer, and the leader of the rock group X Japan. YOSHIKI was named “one of the most influential musicians and composers in Japanese history” by Consequence and is described by Billboard as “a musical innovator”.

In 2023, YOSHIKI’s directorial debut feature film YOSHIKI: Under the Sky premiered in New York, Tokyo, London, and Los Angeles, followed by showings in over 130 theaters in the U.S., Europe, and Japan.
