Sacai puts the James Dean back in denim

The Sacai spring/summer 2025 men's collection and women's spring 2025 collection pay homage to one of the most iconic actors in history:
James Dean , who mesmerised movie lovers with performances in films such as Rebel Without a Cause (1955) and Giant (1956), but died in a car crash at the tender age of 24. Dean came to embody the timeless pairing of a leather jacket, white T-shirt and jeans, so it's no surprise that denim plays a key role in the range. Sacai's founder Chitose Abe didn't just make her own jeans, however: she teamed up with the original denim purveyor, Levi's, reimagining garments in silhouettes and shapes that are unmistakably Sacai but stay true to the workwear roots of the San Francisco-born brand. 'I have always been inspired by James Dean, and although he had many iconic styles, the denim style was absolutely one of them, so having Levi's with his style came naturally,' says Abe of the partnership.

Fine and dandy: how luxury houses are embracing a return to refined accoutrements, from British labels Dunhill and Purdey, to Indian fashion designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee
At this year's Met Gala , an unexpected accessory emerged as the evening's quiet stand-out: the walking stick. Alongside jewel-handled umbrellas, watch fobs and even an ornate monocle, these gentlemanly flourishes added a sense of old-world formality to the event's 'Tailored for You' dress code, a tribute to the tradition of Black dandyism.

Photo: AFP Advertisement Met Gala co-chair A$AP Rocky carried a custom silver umbrella by New York jeweller Briony Raymond, set with 90 carats' worth of diamonds and with a handle shaped like a revolver (likely a nod to Rocky's recent acquittal on gun charges, as well as a reference to Umbrella, the 2007 hit by his partner Rihanna ). Bollywood legend Shah Rukh Khan was dressed by Sabyasachi Mukherjee, his look made complete with this Bengal Tiger Head cane. Photo: Invision/AP For Indian fashion designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee , who dressed Bollywood legend Shah Rukh Khan for the evening, the cane wasn't just an accessory – it was central to the look. 'Shah Rukh Khan is such an important star and often wears very simple, tailored clothing. As an icon, you don't want to detract from the public image that already exists,' said Mukherjee. ' Stars like Shah Rukh Khan don't need to be dressed in a costume – they're so big that they just need to be presented as themselves.' Khan's cane, designed for the event, was inspired by the regal traditions of the historic region of the subcontinent called Bengal. 'I also wanted to evoke the image of Bengal's nobility, who carried walking sticks often adorned with bejewelled heads of tigers, elephants and lions,' said Mukherjee. 'Depending on one's status, the heads were cast in silver or gold, and for the wealthiest, entirely encrusted with gemstones.' The Sabyasachi Bengal Tiger Head cane. Photo: Handout Mukherjee's creation was a tour de force of craftsmanship: a Bengal tiger's head cast in 18k gold, its eyes of blue sapphire, its tongue carved from pink tourmaline, and the head adorned with pastel sapphires and old mine-cut diamonds. 'The Sabyasachi Bengal Tiger Head cane is a homage to Calcutta's goldsmithing heritage, with a nod to the colonial influence of British carpentry, creating a look that is global yet rooted in the soul and traditions of India,' he said. For Mukherjee, such meticulous detail signals a broader shift towards classic elegance. 'The internet has made us incredibly lazy,' he notes. 'We are no longer as well put together, as everything is taken too casually. Dressing up is important because it instils a sense of formality and discipline. I think the world could use a reminder of standards and the importance of holding oneself to them. The act of dressing up shows effort, and that's refreshing to see in fashion.'
