11th of March, 2025, Paris, France – The Ujoh Fall-Winter 2025 takes place in Paris during the prestigious Paris Fashion Week at the emblematic PFW location of Palais de Tokyo.
With their Fall-Winter 2025 collection, Aco and Mitsuru Nishizaki revive the memories of a Japanese youth
shaped by the school uniform. A tribute to the ‘90s, an era when high school students, under the radar of
established rules, crafted their own sartorial language. Through a mastery of tailoring and layering, UJOH
breaks down these rigid codes to unveil their true sense of freedom.
In this reinvented wardrobe, silhouettes embrace the stylistic subversions of the time : an oversized cardigan layered over an asymmetric skirt, defying prescribed rules; fluid leg warmers echoing the loose socks that defined a generation. A rebellion that still resonates today.









































Fabrics and materials: Brushed flannel twill : robust yet soft, it recalls uniform jackets worn and weathered over time; Textured jacquard : an intricate interplay of ribbons and hand-cut threads, evoking the relief of fur, balancing structure and softness.
Wool gabardine : tightly woven and finished with a waxed treatment, it reveals a dense yet supple touch,
enhancing the structure of the silhouettes.
Innovative quilting : injected with recycled polyamide fibres, its plush volume reimagines the warmth of
winter school jackets.
Style: Oversized knits, as if the uniform had been chosen several sizes to big, defying the rigidity of standardized cuts; Modular plastrons, to be tied or left flowing at will – a metaphor for an ever-evolving identity; Alpaca swearers inspired by rugby polos, paired with yak wool leg warmers, a subtile echo of ‘90s silhouettes; Shirts with transformative details, where button plackets morph intro lavallières or ribbon ties at the wriest; Embroidered tulipes, honouring the Japanese tradition where each schoolchild is entrusted with a bulb to nurture through the seasons; A silver badge engraved with the UJOH logo – its first appearance – reinterpreted as a school crest.
Color palette: Deep and timeless hues – dark chocolate, taupe, bottle green, and navy blue – elevated by vibrant accents: electric lime, sky blue, and delicate beige, bringing contrast and depth to the uniform’s understated elegance.
