Summary

  • Maison Mihara Yasuhiro has presented its Spring 2026 collection in Paris, entitled “Ordinary People”
  • The range is a dynamic delivery of Frankenstein’d fashion that speaks to the current Japanese news cycle
  • Navinder Nangla contributes to a handful of the garments with his signature “Fassion Weak” motif

Maison Mihara Yasuhiro has perfected the art of blending different garments, eras, and styles that would otherwise not be matched. The designer’s Spring 2026 Paris runway show was a reflection of this talent, seamlessly merging the familiar with the fantastical, the past with the present, high fashion with casual wear, creating an extraordinary collection of clothing and accessories that push the boundaries of traditional fashion.

The Spring 2026 collection by the designer, titled “Ordinary People,” offers commentary on Japan’s news cycle. As stated post-show, “Even small incidents like extramarital affairs or smoking scandals can make headlines in Japan,” he noted. However, he emphasized that globally, there are ongoing battles, famines, and immense suffering.

In today’s world, it’s common for folks to be tagged on social media if they don’t conform to the usual norms. That’s why I created something tailored for these individuals – a nod to those yearning for a typical life.

In Maison Mihara Yasuhiro’s Spring 2026 collection, fashion pieces like blazers, suits, and overcoats are combined with more casual bottom wear such as sweatpants and cargo shorts. On top, loose-fitting Oxford shirts are worn over basic tank tops and graphic t-shirts. The brand has been exploring the trompe l’oeil technique since its inception, and its centerfold for this season showcases deceptive jacketing silhouettes. Many jackets, including denim jackets, varsity jackets, and Sukajan bombers, feature split sleeves that hang over the outfit instead of actually enclosing the arms.

Approximately halfway through the runway, we introduce a collaboration with the British-Indian artist Navinder Nangla. His well-known “Fassion Weak” symbol appears, along with other misspelled tags such as “Khaos” and creative adaptations of “Ordinary People.

In this collection, you’ll often find the phrase “No Tags Please” emblazoned on crewnecks and cardigans. When it comes to accessories, the models sport versatile bags resembling stuffed toys, floral-filled totes, and wear banana-link necklaces.
