Designer Shinpei Yamagishi presented the Bed J.W. Ford Spring 2027 menswear collection in a leafy Paris courtyard, drawing inspiration from a scene observed during a vacation in Cinque Terre.
The show, titled “Lemon,” featured suits with Italian tailoring techniques such as pincettatura alongside weightless T-shirts with a worn-in appearance and sheer striped shirts bearing painted lemon prints. Pinstriped trousers included stripy waistbands reminiscent of sweatpants.
Yamagishi recalled being moved by two mothers chatting under a lemon tree in Italy. “That scene struck me as possessing an indescribable, happy richness,” he said during a preview. “I was so moved—literally frozen in place—by the realization that this might be what true richness is all about.”
The presentation closed the men’s show season with a focus on relaxed, sensual summer dressing.
