for Autumn and Winter 2025Japan tags Paranoid Centered on its latest seasonal range, it revolves around “the concept of regression” (a regression in Japan, and is also an introspective invitation to reexamine the origins of people and past experiences. Specifically, the brand revolves around the idea of returning to the original location and state. Through clothing expression, paranoid encourages wearers to restore self-awareness through reference memory, instincts and renewed clothing.
These designs are Oriental on four thematic pillars: “Scene” (Landscape), “Emeral Instinct” (Hounting Instinct), “Hibernation” and “Bell” (Bell). The scenery combines distant memories through meticulously detailed prints, while the instinct of the return is expressed through woodland-style camouflage and bear motorcycle embroidery.
