Where Parisian Elegance Meets Tokyo Cool
What happens when Parisian charm mingles with Tokyo’s effortless edge? The result is a collection so seamless, it feels like destiny. As Onitsuka Tiger celebrates 75 years of Japanese craftsmanship and Patou marks an impressive 110 years of Parisian artistry, these two iconic brands have united to rewrite the rules of modern style. The outcome? A playful yet sophisticated collection that feels like a breath of fresh air for a new generation.
Melbourne's Stylish Unveiling
Last night, Melbourne's fashion elite gathered at the Onitsuka Tiger Emporium store to celebrate this unique collaboration. The exclusive event, open only to press and influencers, was a dazzling affair. Among the crowd were some of Melbourne’s most celebrated style icons, including Sally Mackinnon, and the ever-elegant Kate Redford Winstanley. Adding a creative flair to the evening, fashion illustrator Angie Rehe captured the essence of the attendees in stunning renditions of the new Patou x Onitsuka Tiger collection.
The collection itself is a delightful conversation between Parisian femininity and Japanese streetwear edge. Think vibrant bows, frilled socks, and ruffled cuffs paired with Onitsuka Tiger’s iconic silhouettes. The colour palette—an edgy mix of black, white, pink, and beige—brings a fresh perspective to the brand’s aesthetic, creating a joyful, preppy-meets-streetwear vibe. Feminine yet rooted in the brand’s heritage, it’s a style evolution we didn’t know we needed.
For us at Casper Magazine, attending this event was more than just a peek into the collection—it was a chance to feel the story behind the collaboration, and we’re thrilled to share it with you. Trust us, this is one you need to experience for yourself. Head in-store now to explore the magic.
A Love Letter to Legacy and Modernity
Fashion isn’t just about what we wear—it’s about the stories we tell. Patou and Onitsuka Tiger share a deep respect for their rich heritages while keeping a firm eye on the future. This collection feels alive, vibrant, and relevant, seamlessly blending timeless elegance with contemporary flair.
The standout pieces in the collection include bold reinterpretations of Onitsuka Tiger’s iconic designs. The reimagined MEXICO 66, with its pink-and-black palette and whimsical tiger charm, stands out as a playful yet sophisticated choice. Meanwhile, the MEXICO 66 BALLERINA, inspired by dance, strikes the perfect balance between strength and grace. These shoes aren’t just footwear—they’re statements waiting to be made.
The Journey Continues in London
The Melbourne event was just the beginning. From November 20 to December 22, London’s Onitsuka Tiger flagship store on Regent Street will host L’Appartement Patou Tiger, an immersive space where Parisian and Tokyoite styles collide. The whimsical apartment-inspired setup celebrates the collection’s duality, offering a visual feast for visitors.
Reservations are now open at the event page.
