25PF Deep Dive: Theme, Materials, and Silhouette Innovations

Season Theme: [EUROPA;] — A New Narrative by the Designer

The theme of the JULIUS 25PF collection is [EUROPA;]—an expanded continuation of the sci-fi motif introduced in the 2025PS collection, [LUNARCHY;].
At its core lies inspiration from Arthur C. Clarke’s sci-fi novel *2061: Odyssey Three*, particularly the moon Europa, one of Jupiter’s satellites.

Europa, shrouded in mystery, is often associated with the possibility of extraterrestrial life and unknown environments. Drawing from this, the collection envisions a futuristic frontier through JULIUS's signature dark and industrial aesthetic.
The inclusion of workwear elements inspired by rocket engineers and mechanics adds a layer of deliberate “decay”—expressed through visual motifs of rust, wear, and erosion.

While the previous season, [LUNARCHY;], leaned into introspection and anarchic chaos, this season’s [EUROPA;] shifts toward an outward-facing narrative filled with sci-fi romanticism and exploration.

Design Approach: A Fusion of Workwear and Sci-Fi

On the design front, standout pieces include pants reminiscent of space suits, MA-1-style blousons, and work shirts with rust-inspired treatments—many of which are grounded in the ruggedness of military and industrial wear.
These are seamlessly blended with JULIUS’s signature deconstructed patterns and dystopian nuances, radiating a unique presence that evokes visions of desolate future cities.

One of the defining motifs of the collection is the graphic imagery of factories and rocket engines.
These visuals serve as literal representations of narratives such as planetary colonization and rocket construction.
Additionally, garments undergo special treatments to express wear and grime, further enhancing the realism of workwear that has been pushed to the limits in harsh environments.

Special Treatments and Details: Avant-Garde Expression Through Decay

Avant-garde elements—such as asymmetrical cutting, mechanical forms, and exoskeletal details resembling protective shells—are skillfully incorporated throughout, showcasing JULIUS’s signature style.
Especially noteworthy are the highly artistic graphics and prints applied to textiles, a hallmark of the brand’s design language.

This season also prominently features JULIUS’s distinctive special treatments, including rust finishes created by spraying real iron powder and simulating oxidation, as well as resin coatings used to express dirt and a worn-in look.
These technical innovations reflect JULIUS’s dedication to balancing functionality with artistic expression, deepening the brand’s conceptual universe even further.

Silhouette Characteristics: Oversized and Structured Forms

As for silhouettes, this season continues with JULIUS's signature “voluminous and structured forms” featuring oversized fits, deep rises, and wide armholes—familiar elements for longtime fans.
By incorporating straight-line patterns reminiscent of workwear and military-inspired details, the collection further enhances its sense of high fashion.

The garments are designed to accommodate multilayered styling, making each piece impactful on its own while also offering greater depth and visual intrigue when layered.

Materials and Color Palette: How JULIUS Uses Color to Convey Its Worldview

This season, dominant dark tones such as Ink Black, Gray, and Silver serve as the foundation, evoking a dystopian, somber atmosphere.
Black, in particular, is the core color of JULIUS. As designer Tatsuro Horikawa describes it—"the madness hidden in the shadows, distanced from light"—this darkness and chaos forms the backbone of the brand’s aesthetic.

On the other hand, tranquil, otherworldly tones like Oxide and Moss are also incorporated, adding depth that goes beyond the realm of mere monochrome.
Accents that resemble “flashes of luminous color” suggest cosmic or sci-fi energy sources, symbolizing radiant elements glowing in darkened environments.

Of particular note are the resin-treated pieces featuring Orange, a color associated with industrial and safety gear.
When finished to resemble worn-out workwear, these pieces evoke scenes of planetary exploration or labor-intensive environments. The COTTON SATIN BACK TROUSERS (ORANGE) is a prime example of this effect.

The orange hue functions as a visceral, even violent contrast against the collection’s mineral and industrial tones—injecting raw intensity into the dystopian, chaotic world JULIUS envisions.

Lastly, don't overlook the use of metallic tones like Copper and Bronze.
Iconic treatments such as COPPER SPATTERING and details like the NYLON TAPE BELT (BRONZE) evoke imagery of rust and oxidation—enhancing the industrial narrative that defines the collection.
These layered color applications deepen the brand’s signature dark sci-fi aesthetic, reminiscent of a decayed future metropolis.

[From a Buyer's Perspective] What Makes the 25PF Pre-Fall Collection So Intriguing

While last season’s [LUNARCHY;] explored introspective and abstract chaos, this season’s [EUROPA;] boldly embraces the romantic vision of a “space frontier,” enhanced with utilitarian details inspired by workwear—adding both practicality and realism to the narrative.
As a result, JULIUS moves beyond inward-looking themes to deliver a more expansive, sci-fi-driven direction that highlights the brand’s avant-garde ambition.

The extensive use of advanced treatments—such as iron powder rust effects and resin coatings—represents a bold move in terms of production costs, but it’s exactly this commitment that solidifies JULIUS’s identity.
This dedication to delivering a “truly unique experience” to its customers is one of the key reasons why JULIUS continues to maintain strong support over the years.

JULIUS Now: Revisiting Its Core Philosophy and Evolution

Reaffirming the Unshakable Foundation of JULIUS

Founded in 2001 by designer Tatsuro Horikawa, JULIUS began as a visual art project and evolved into a full-fledged fashion label in 2004, following ventures in graphic art and music events.
The brand’s signature world—rooted in dark industrial aesthetics and avant-garde architectural design—was shaped through multidisciplinary creative expression, and remains the essence of JULIUS to this day.

From [LUNARCHY;] to [EUROPA;]: A New Frontier

The 25PS collection [LUNARCHY;] explored chaotic introspection in collaboration with underground artist Jesse Draxler.
In contrast, the 25PF collection [EUROPA;] shifts toward a more narrative-driven concept centered on “interplanetary migration” and “rocket and machine construction.”
This evolution delivers a bold new vision for JULIUS, merging cosmic imagination with utilitarian ruggedness to push the brand’s design language into uncharted territory.
