For Autumn/Winter 2026, SOSHIOTSUKI focuses on tailoring not as a fixed structure, but as something that subtly shifts through wear. Peak lapels and shirt collars are shaped with intentional curls created through pattern cutting and ironing, introducing gentle movement into otherwise formal silhouettes.
Oxford shirts are cut on the bias, allowing drape to emerge naturally when tucked in. Rather than presenting garments as completed forms, the collection is designed to reveal its character through motion and interaction with the wearer.

Questioning the Nature of Nostalgia
Underlying the collection is a reflection on nostalgia—why a sense of longing can exist for places or eras never personally experienced.
Without formal tailoring education or overseas training, the designer approaches Italian tailoring culture from a deliberate distance. Presenting the collection in Italy, often considered the heart of tailoring tradition, becomes an act of reinterpretation rather than imitation, rooted in observation and restraint.

A Reserved Aesthetic, Reconsidered
Known for its quiet, rigorous aesthetic, SOSHIOTSUKI avoids overt decoration or emotional excess. The silhouettes remain culturally neutral, resisting easy categorization. Identity here is not derived from geography, but from posture, discipline, and accumulated choices.
Tailoring is neither dramatized nor monumentalized. Instead, it is carefully adjusted, observed, and carried forward—an approach that resonated clearly within the Florentine context.

Collaboration as Experimentation
The collection also expands through collaborations that test tailoring against other disciplines. These include PROLETA RE ART, Spanish shirtmaker CAMISAS MANOLO, heritage Japanese manufacturer GUNZE, and works by artist KOTA OKUDA, who has collaborated with the brand since 2023.
In addition, a new partnership with ASICS Sportstyle launches from this runway presentation, exploring the intersection of tailoring, movement, and the body. Each collaboration functions not as embellishment, but as an experiment in structure, use, and physicality.

A Quiet Statement at Pitti Uomo 109
Presented at Pitti Immagine Uomo 109, the Autumn/Winter 2026 collection does not position tailoring as spectacle. Instead, it treats tailoring as a living practice—something to be refined, questioned, and gradually renewed.
Standing within a city steeped in sartorial history, SOSHIOTSUKI maintains its own distance, proposing a future-facing interpretation of tailoring that remains measured, thoughtful, and quietly assertive.
