RYNSHU Brings Tokyo Rhythm to NYFW SS26
New York, NY – September 11, 2025 – Tokyo-based brand RYNSHU, led by designers Rynshu and Rieco Yamaji, unveiled its Spring/Summer 2026 collection at Highline Stages yesterday, offering a vibrant blend of men’s and women’s wear that pulsed with urban energy.
Setting the Tone at NYFW
Amid a week dominated by luxury houses unveiling high-gloss collections, RYNSHU carved out a refreshing space. By merging the raw energy of Tokyo’s underground scene with the theatricality of NYFW, the brand offered something that felt both authentic and globally relevant.
The 32-look presentation captured the spirit of “wearing clothes with the bounce and overflowing city rhythm,” a theme that came alive through sleek tailoring, fluid silhouettes, and street-inspired details. From structured jackets layered over relaxed trousers to flowing dresses accented with bold accessories, the collection balanced refinement with movement, embodying the restless energy of modern city life.
Gender-Fluid Versatility
True to RYNSHU’s DNA, the collection blurred the boundaries of menswear and womenswear. Several looks played with proportion: wide-leg pants balanced with cropped tops, while tailored jackets were styled across genders with ease. This fluidity underscored the brand’s ethos that style is defined by rhythm and identity, not categories.
The palette flowed from sharp monochromes—black, white, and gray—to flashes of bold color reminiscent of neon lights against night streets. Metallic accents and shimmering fabrics heightened the sense of energy, while accessories leaned practical: crossbody bags, layered belts, and sleek footwear that kept the looks grounded.
Set against the industrial backdrop of Highline Stages, the show carried a distinct cosmopolitan edge, merging Tokyo’s underground cool with the polished flair of New York Fashion Week. The gender-fluid approach reflected RYNSHU’s DNA, bridging menswear and womenswear seamlessly with pieces that felt sharp yet versatile.
The collection resonated with an audience eager for fashion that matches the rhythm of daily life in global capitals, where style must keep pace with constant motion. Each look demonstrated how RYNSHU continues to define its own lane within the NYFW schedule—sophisticated, urban, and unapologetically rhythmic.
