Milan fashion week, spring/summer 2025 is being referred to as a season of surprises as designers went off script.
Tokyo James – the British-Nigerian who consistently provides expressive style options – was no different. His latest collection, Imperfection, goes against the grain of the traditional pursuit of perfection, prompting his audience to welcome the beauty found in the unexpected.
Raw, unpolished materials— usually rooted in African culture, but overlooked by Western luxury standards — were the foundation of Tokyo’s bold, exciting narrative.
James founded his eponymous menswear brand in 2015, making it his mission to incorporate African skills and techniques into his work in ways that innovate on tradition. His creative talent has singled him out as a couturier with distinctive style.
