Unveiled during London Fashion Week, TOGA’s Fall/Winter 2026 collection, “PULL, CRUMPLE, PRESSED,” offers a stunning exploration of textures and silhouettes curated by the talented Yasuko Furuta. A graduate of Esmod Japon and Esmod Paris, Furuta founded TOGA in Tokyo in 1997, with the brand making a significant mark on the global stage since its Paris debut in 2005 and its arrival at London Fashion Week in 2014.
The collection is a daring interplay of fine tailoring and eclectic material mashups, where classic pieces meet bold conceptual design. We saw boxy overcoats and strong-shouldered pantsuits, all beautifully cinched at the waist, stripped down to delicate lining material, then adorned with cosy cardigan-like waist and hip warmers. The ensemble took on a dynamic presence, exemplified by hanging diagonal panels of sequins that added movement and flair.

Photographer Anna Nowalska-Duda captured the backstage energy, providing an intimate glimpse into the creative process that fuels this innovative collection. Furuta’s shirts were certainly a highlight, featuring slim band-collared designs with oversized collars that could be buttoned playfully. For men, TOGA offered straightforward shirts with traditional collars, yet elevated by intricate waist seaming that showcased the brand’s dedication to craftsmanship.
Having received the prestigious ANDAM award in 2007 and celebrating their 20th anniversary with a spectacular show at The National Art Centre in Tokyo in 2017, TOGA continues to redefine contemporary fashion with its unique blend of elegance and avant-garde style. This season, expect an irresistible mix of structure and fluidity that resonates through every piece.
