Global icon YOSHIKI has released the film of his striking cinematic runway show, which showcases the debut of his high fashion brand, MAISON YOSHIKI PARIS, at Paris Fashion Week. The film, directed by Yoshiki, blends his signature performance style with the elegance of his new collection, captured against the dramatic backdrop of the Palais de Chaillot.
Model and actress Paris Jackson made a surprise runway appearance, wearing two looks as YOSHIKI performed live, along with other high-profile models such as Grace Johnson, Georgia Palmer, and Lindsey Wixson who were also featured.
Many celebrities attended, including Rebel Wilson, Nicola Formichetti, and Hiroshi Fujiwara.

As a counterpoint to his dramatic all-black Fall Winter 2024 collection, which was shown at Milan Fashion Week, MAISON YOSHIKI PARIS Spring Summer 2025 asserts lightness featuring white as the base tone along with black accompanied by accents of pastel colors such as pistachio, and pastel lemon. Strikes of black and gold paint on white fabric are inspired by German-Franco Lyrical Abstractionist, Hans Hartung, while a nod to American Pop-Art from the 60s is found in the final looks closing the show: a series of simple geometric shift dresses featuring a jacquard fabric with YOSHIKI’s “pop-art” portrait.
MAISON YOSHIKI PARIS fuses YOSHIKI’s visions of fashion, design, and lifestyle with glamorous and genderless designs. The Spring Summer 2025 show featured 33 looks.
The collection exclusively uses French luxury fabrics, from thick cotton twill, cotton/linen blend tweed with iridescent accents, double silk organza, poplin, and Ruschel knit lace with a rich textured hand. The shapes are modern and edgy, accentuated by strategically positioned stitching and black contrasting zippers. There are references to the world of traditional kimonos which YOSHIKI has been experimenting with through his fashion line Yoshikimono, launched in 2011, and that are now revisited through an even more contemporary and international lens.
The jewelry throughout the collection has been designed exclusively for MAISON YOSHIKI PARIS by Juana Martín and features whimsical oversized musical notes and letters charms made in 14K gold.
