CFCL Menswear Autumn 2026

CFCL is slowly growing into the men’s market. “We’ve been focusing on the CFCL customer and trying to make things that are more mature,” Yusuke Takahashi commented during a video call from Tokyo. “Womenswear is more dramatic, and men’s is more practical, so we’re trying to establish a stronger attitude for him, keeping it authentic but also connecting with a younger consumer.” For pre-fall, that meant leaning into relaxed, ample silhouettes with minimal seams, like a double-breasted jacket the designer described as the perfect piece to instantly elevate a look to office appropriate. Though recycled polyester is CFCL’s signature material, he noted that he’s obsessing over developing it to mimic more closely the look and feel of natural ones. Two examples here: a mottled gray funnel-neck coat and a caramel cardigan with tiers of ribbing on the sleeves. A finely ribbed hoodie looked like it might connect with that younger customer.
