Steve Aoki made a notable return to New York Fashion Week this season with the DIM MAK x ONE PIECE collaboration, in partnership with Toei Animation, delivering an innovative and immersive runway show on September 9, 2024, at Artechhouse.
The Spring/Summer 2025 Collection, a fusion of Dim Mak‘s cutting-edge designs and the bold, adventurous essence of ONE PIECE, was unveiled as part of Toei Animation‘s celebration of the anime’s 25th anniversary. This collaboration marks a pivotal moment for anime’s influence on the fashion industry.
One Piece Spring Summer 2025 Collection pays homage to the exhilarating and engrossing world created by Eiichiro Oda and features designs inspired by the series’ current Egghead arc including its colorful characters like Monkey D. Luffy and his Straw Hats crew.
The runway show’s casting featured a diverse lineup of models, including notables like Noah Lyles, the American track & field athlete and Olympian, and Junelle Bromfield, the Jamaican track & field athlete, who brought the collection to life on the runway.
“This collaboration between Dim Mak and One Piece is a dream come true. It’s a mashup of everything I love – fashion, music, and anime – all in one. As a huge fan of One Piece and Luffy, I’m super inspired by his drive, his fearless spirit, and how he turns obstacles into opportunities. This partnership is all about celebrating that energy with bold, dynamic fashion that captures the vibe of One Piece while repping the street style that Dim Mak is all about.” – Steve Aoki
