ssstein Fall/Winter 2025
by Anna Barr
ssstein marked their first presentation abroad showing during Paris Fashion Week their collection ‘Resonance’ for Fall/Winter 2025. Kiichiro Asakawa, the founder and self-taught designer behind the Japanese unisex brand, took home the FASHION PRIZE OF TOKYO 2025. ssstein is known for their signature pieces, like the double-lapel jacket or coat, the vest-and-coat ‘docking coat’, the peaked-lapel reversible double-face jacket, and other tailored items, which have been updated this season for the international audience in attendance at the iconic Palais de Tokyo.
“Looking through my favorite photography book again and again, I was moved by the emotionally intimate relationship between the photographer and his subjects. I wanted to express this ‘resonance’ (The key word of the collection) with my clothes.” explains Asakawa, without revealing the photographer’s name.
The color palette is made up of are a dozen shades of grey such as taupe, greige, and charcoal. A layer of the same grey in different materials creates tonal subtlety in certain looks. Fabric innovation is central to Asakawa’s creations, as he chooses materials that are smooth but ideal for rigid designs while in response to the increased demand, ssstein expanded its denim range. Stand out pieces included a super wide black leather belt can be worn like a corset or be integrated into a jacket or coat, when passed through specially designed holes and slits. These increase the resonance Askawa seeks, between the clothes and the wearer.
