Heaven Tanudiredja Fall/Winter '25 Tokyo Fashionweek

Back to Tokyo Fashionweek with Heaven Tanudiredja's Fall/Winter '25 collection showed in Aoyama, Tokyo. With his background in jewelry design, the Bali-based designer, is known for hand-crafted luxury pieces and follows a philosophy that values individuality over mass production. Working from his Bali atelier, Heaven Tanudiredja continues to make each piece by hand, keeping Haute Couture traditions alive with a Southeast Asian touch. Trained in womenswear at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, and having worked with designers like Dries Van Noten, his experience in both clothing and jewelry has shaped a style that combines structure, emotion, and decoration.

This season, Tanudiredja looked to his personal memories for inspiration. The new collection showed where the brand is known for; detailed handmade work, strong architectural shapes, and a balanced mix of softness and strength. Many dresses and coats had pleated, origami-like details. These gave the pieces a sculptural volumious look. Jewelry look-a-like details added shine to the garments; dresses had beads, sequins, and colorful appliqués, giving them a decorative look. These details also showed up on accessories like the teddy bear bags and belts with gold chains while light organza and tulle added softness and air. In collaboration with longtime friend Mikio Sakabe, the footwear label Grounds (hottest Tokyo brand among the young Japanese fashion lovers) created platform shoes in bright colors, each decorated with sequin flowers that matched the collection's feel.

The most impressive look was a grey, pleated, voluminous skirt that flowed beautifully as the model walked. Paired with a black washed denim jacket and Grounds beaded sneakers, it was a perfect Tokyo dream outfit. Another favorite was a simple white dress from layered sheer fabrics, adding depth and sophistication, and styled with just a black belt. The men's looks were also eye-catching: a cream co-ord set, a white bermuda (Why not?) outfit with black tights combined with a black coat, and a brown cape coat look.

Instead of following strict seasonal schedules, the designer releases collections when inspired, making each show a personal and artistic expression. By blending skilled craftsmanship, storytelling, and bold shapes, Heaven Tanudiredja’s work shows a style that combines shape, feeling, and details. With the  Fall/Winter '25 collection the brand presents fashion as wearable art, with each piece carrying a romantic yet modern feel.
