Sacai’s Chitose Abe sat out Paris Fashion Week this season. Come June, she’ll be back on the menswear calendar, and she’ll resume her four-shows-a-year schedule. Her absence leaves a gap in the usual lineup, but she’s not out of the picture completely. The Sacai showroom has been bustling as usual with buyers, and Abe was in town to shoot this fall 2026 look book.

Her breakthrough idea this season was to add a kind of double-breasted dickey jacket to everything from cardigans to button-downs and even other jackets. Worn buttoned it gives the illusion of layers without the bulk; unbuttoned, with the ends tossed over the shoulders, it’s an exuberant scarf. “It’s a statement about having the freedom to do what you want to do,” Abe said via her interpreter, and it plays into a theme that began developing at Prada in Milan and was picked up by the young Marie Adam-Leenaerdt here in Paris.
