Toga Fall 2026

At Toga’s Fall 2026 show, Yasuko Furuta turned the everyday act of getting dressed into an experiment in contradiction. Tailoring met chaos, structure met softness, and a flash of sequins might appear where a pocket should have been. The collection unfolded like a study in beautiful imbalance, where polished silhouettes collided with the strange and unexpected. Boxy coats and sharp-shouldered suits were cinched at the waist with nothing more than lining fabric, while layers of knit hip-warmers wrapped around the body like protective talismans. It was part laboratory, part wardrobe malfunction - and yet, in Furuta’s hands, it all made sense.

The standout pieces were her shirts, which felt like the purest expression of her playfulness. Slim, band-collared versions came with cartoonishly oversized collars, an exaggerated gesture that added humour to the precision of her cuts. Elsewhere, shirting was reimagined entirely bunched, crumpled and sculpted into bustier tops that looked like frosting piped onto an evening gown. Every look felt like an act of rebellion against the flatness of minimalism, proof that fashion can be clever without being self-serious.

Now nearly three decades into her career, Furuta continues to push against the boundaries of refinement. Plush wools met shiny synthetics, and spotted brown skirt suits with jagged hems gave off a hint of prehistoric glamour, tongue-in-cheek nod to what she calls her “wide material world.” The results weren’t always harmonious, but that was the point. The joy of Toga has always been in its unpredictability, and this season, Furuta reminded everyone that a little creative chaos can still feel perfectly tailored.
