Backstage at YAKU Fall/Winter 2026  Evolution of Combat
"Each season of YAKU unfolds a new chapter in an ongoing saga titled The ImPossible Family Reunion in RPG Space. These presentations are renowned for their immersive environments that transport audiences into alternate universes, making each show a unique experience."
"For the latest collection, Stapleton moved to the catwalk format for the first time with A Ground to Stand On. This sixth chapter departed from the training grounds of previous seasons, venturing into themes of pre-colonial Caribbean resistance, thus bridging the gap from preparation to lived reality."
"The combination of hand-dyed, sewn, and distressed deadstock textiles brought to life an unforgettable fashion experience, one that invites audiences not just to observe but to engage with a rich tapestry of storytelling, setting, and emotion."
