sacai is the Tokyo label Chitose Abe founded in 1999 after years working under Rei Kawakubo and Junya Watanabe. It builds clothes through hybridization, splicing contrasting fabrics and garment archetypes into single pieces: bombers grafted onto tailoring, pleated panels fused to knitwear, cargo pants that fold into skirts. Abe shows co-ed collections in Paris, framing Autumn 2026 around what she calls the beauty of destruction. Recent collaborations include Carhartt WIP, UGG and a third footwear capsule with J.M. Weston. The company remains private and founder-led.

Does Sacai run big or small?

Sacai runs small. Most shoppers take one size up from their usual (a sacai 3 tends to land like a standard M/L), and up two if you have broad shoulders or want to layer. sacai uses Japanese numeric sizing (1–5) that generally runs small against US/EU labels, so buyers typically size up one, even though the finished silhouettes themselves look oversized and layered.
