IM MEN presented its FW 2025/26 collection, titled “FLY WITH IM MEN”, at Le Réfectoire des Cordeliers in Paris, a historic former monastery that embodies both heritage and creative spirit.
Founded in 2021, IM MEN continues the design philosophy of “a piece of cloth” inherited from Issey Miyake, celebrating both the human form and the intrinsic value of fabric. The brand pushes beyond conventional tailoring, blending artistry with engineering. Alongside the fashion show, an exhibition by Tokujin Yoshioka animated the energy of textiles as if they were alive, highlighting the dialogue between craftsmanship and advanced technology.
FLY Series: transforms surplus fabric edges, often discarded, into versatile garments with zero waste. Coats and jackets can be reversed or rebuttoned to create multiple silhouettes, expanding on the lightweight AIR Series.
FLAT DRAPE Series: designed so garments fold neatly into perfect squares, yet reveal fluid draping when worn. Made from newly developed plant-based polyester with softness, stretch, and lightness, combined with sugarcane by-products.
WALL Series: inverts garment structures by exposing interior details on the outside. Recycled polyester fabrics are soft yet durable, with functional adaptability, such as folding into a hood or reshaping via buttons.
SWITCH Series: employs plant-derived nylon fibres (castor beans, corn) developed with Toray Industries. Detachable linings can be worn as separate pieces, e.g. trousers with liners that double as vests, or coats and jackets with flexible styling.
KASURI Series: draws from traditional Japanese ikat dyeing. Pre-dyed threads woven on a jacquard loom create gradient patterns. Three types of cotton yarn are used to reduce fabric waste. Modular designs allow transformation, zips convert tops into sleeved coats, or buttoning transforms them into ponchos.
With “FLY WITH IM MEN”, the brand reimagines fashion through the lens of freedom, innovation, and material intelligence, seamlessly uniting design, art, sustainability, and technology. The collection is now available at IM MEN, M Floor, Siam Discovery, Bangkok.
