SOSHIOTSUKI

Bringing tailoring cultivated in Japan to Florence.

SOSHIOTSUKI, helmed by Sōshi Ōtsuki, presents its Fall/Winter 2026 collection, “IN FLORENCE.” Focusing on the “Galápagos effect”—where Italian tailoring, popular during Japan’s bubble economy, evolved uniquely within Japan’s insular environment—the collection “re-imports” this sartorial culture back to Italy, the mecca of tailoring. The collection incorporates movement into its static structures through details such as double-breasted jackets with an inverted triangle silhouette created by accentuated shoulders and slim-fit pants; lapels and collar tips given an artificial curl through pattern manipulation and ironing; bias-cut Oxford shirts; and a design feature where the shirt placket functions as a tie.
