History
[edit]Japanese musician and composer Yoshiki's connection to fashion began as a child of parents who were in the kimono business, which led to his creation of his fashion line Yoshikimono in 2011.[1]
On July 4, 2023, Yoshiki announced the establishment of his high-fashion brand Maison Yoshiki Paris, which will produce ready-to-wear apparel for the international market.[2][3] The brand will also produce wine and champagne glasses in collaboration with French crystal maker Baccarat.[4] Kuki de Salvertes, who has worked with many designers including Vivienne Westwood and Raf Simons, was appointed as the fashion brand's development director.[5]
In February 2024, Maison Yoshiki Paris debuted at Milan Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2024/25 at Bocconi University as part of the official calendar.[6] The runway show featured an onstage musical performance by Yoshiki (including new songs and a collaboration with Hiroshi Fujiwara)[7] and the production team included fashion stylist Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele, casting director Maida Gregori Boina, hair stylist Odile Gilbert, and makeup artist Kabuki.[8]
In September 2024, he presented his second collection of Maison Yoshiki Paris at the Pallais de Chaillot during Paris Fashion Week S/S 2025,[9] for which Paris Jackson joined the production as runway model.[10]
Style
[edit]Yoshiki has stated that he intends for the brand to present genderless designs that can reach a global market while using fabrics locally sourced from France and Italy.[11]
