Les Six AW25: PANTOKRATOR—A Raw Reflection of Rebellion and Reality

by - 00:00:00

Les Six unveiled its Autumn/Winter 2025 collection, PANTOKRATOR, at the historic Ohjo Building in Tokyo’s Kabuki-cho district—an iconic site that has stood as a symbol of the city’s vibrant, unfiltered energy since 1964.
Founded in 2017 by a collective of visionary Japanese creatives, including designer Ryohei Kawanishi, Les Six draws inspiration from the avant-garde spirit of its namesake—a group of early 20th-century composers who defied convention. Kawanishi, having honed his craft in London and New York across tailoring, graphic design, and jewelry, brings a deep, cross-disciplinary perspective to his work.

This collection is a raw, unapologetic meditation on disillusionment—an unfiltered look at the dreams of youth, the pursuit of artistic revolution, and the stark reality that follows. Through bold silhouettes, distressed textures, and layered deconstruction, the collection captures the contrast between idealism and the compromises of adulthood.

The garments speak in fragmented, almost poetic forms—oversized outerwear, structured yet chaotic layering, and abstract prints that feel like memories slipping through time. Rugged workwear pieces meet delicate drapery, while raw-edge tailoring and asymmetry suggest a rebellion against polished perfection. Earthy tones clash with punctuations of vibrant red, electric blue, and metallic finishes, mirroring the turbulence of an ever-evolving creative identity.

Les Six doesn’t just present fashion—it questions it. PANTOKRATOR is a manifesto, an unfiltered dialogue on the state of art, culture, and self-expression in a world that often distorts authenticity for commercial appeal. It challenges us to reflect: Are we staying true to our visions, or simply learning how to justify their loss?

In this restless, sleepless corner of Tokyo, Les Six reminds us that rebellion isn’t just about resisting—it’s about reclaiming the raw, unvarnished truth.
