In September 2025, Kasai presented their SS26 collection at Major Virtual Tunnel. The show was intimate, just 12 looks, but every detail landed with intention. The soundtrack set the tone immediately. The electric guitar led the melody, steady and controlled, not aggressive. The opening look said everything. An oversized black tailored suit, finished with a satin sash draped across the body, moving gently with each step.
Across every look, Kasai explored duality. Masculinity against femininity, structure against softness, tension held in balance rather than forced. One detail that really stayed with me was the use of red in a few pieces. I kept wondering what it was meant to signal. Bravery, strength, desire, or something more personal. It felt intimate, almost like a quiet code slipped into the collection rather than a statement meant to be explained.
During the final walk, the music’s tempo slowed down and all the models walked out holding a single white rose. Overall, Kasai’s SS26 left a strong impression on me and made me curious about the story and intentions behind the collection.
