Hankyu Men's Launches AW 2025 Season with a Focus on Checks

Hankyu Men's, with its locations in Umeda, Osaka and Yurakucho, Tokyo, proudly announces the commencement of its Autumn Winter 2025 season promotions starting August 27, 2025. This collection invites customers to discover a fresh perspective on what fashion and lifestyle mean in today's world.

The theme for the 2025 AW season is “ORL” (Out of Real Life). This concept aims to bridge the gap between fantasy and the real world, inviting individuals to step into a slightly skewed version of their dreams. After several seasons of focusing on positivity, it's essential to recognize that fashion can also be an exhilarating realm filled with anticipation and excitement.

In the fast-paced reality where we are confined by time constraints and repeated routines, it’s crucial to take a step back. The AW2025 is not about escaping into a virtual world or social media, but rather about exploring an extension of reality—a playground for curiosity and self-expression.

By doing this, it unleashes a new perception of the world we live in, offering a fresh take on everything we hear and see. Hankyu Men's encourages everyone to “question established norms and taboos.” Their aim is to propose an adventurous journey towards discovering a new “real” fashion and lifestyle that fills us with joy and excitement.

Special Event: Celebrating Katharine Hamnett

A highlight of this season is a special event focused on the renowned British designer, Katharine Hamnett. Emerging during the vibrant fashion era of the 1980s, Hamnett introduced a sharp social perspective to the industry. She popularized slogan T-shirts, using fashion as a platform for self-expression, sparking a global movement. Being environmentally conscious before it was trendy, she began integrating organic materials into her designs and advocating for social issues, paving the way for standards now embraced by luxury brands.

Hamnett’s commitment to influencing society through fashion resonates to this date, inspiring creators and successive generations worldwide. She exemplifies how fashion transcends merely dressing beautifully; it has the potential to forge a better future.
