PSG and Pièces Uniques have brought Japanese aesthetics to football Interview with Edmond Luu

PSG has unveiled a brand new capsule collection in collaboration with the French brand Pièces Uniques. The five-piece collection draws heavily on Japanese aesthetics. The standout piece is a jacket called Seifuku, inspired by Japanese school and naval uniforms. These extraordinary garments redefine football fashion once again. To find out more about the creation of this collection, we spoke to Edmond Luu, Pièces Uniques' creative director.

How did the collaboration with PSG come about?

"It happened quite naturally around Lunar New Year. For me, it was the right moment to bring my culture into Paris in a visible way. There’s a strong Asian community here, especially in the 13th arrondissement, but we don’t always take space or express it. This project was a way to say that we’re here. PSG understood that, and it became more than just a collaboration. It became a way to create a bridge between cultures. This bridge extended to this second drop in Tokyo with a larger collection and a broader exchange."

What was the biggest challenge in blending elements of Asian tradition with the PSG aesthetic?

"The challenge was not to fall into something too literal or decorative. I didn’t want to just take symbols and place them on garments. It had to feel natural, almost invisible. Something you feel more than something you see. So it was about translating the essence of Asian culture into form, into details, into construction, while still respecting PSG’s identity, which is very strong and global."

Do you think pieces like these could be worn as anthem jackets before a match? Would that make you proud?

"Yeah, of course. That would be crazy. And we have already seen that after the first drop together. Because it would mean that something very personal, something coming from my story and my culture, is worn in a moment that is seen by the whole world. It’s more than fashion at that point. It becomes a statement, a part of a cultural moment. So yeah, I’d be really proud."

PSG is one of the clubs most actively pushing the boundaries between football and fashion, building a strong identity in the process. How does Pièces Uniques fit into this narrative?

"I think PSG is not just a football club anymore, it’s a cultural platform. What Pièces Uniques brings is a different perspective. Something more personal, more rooted, maybe more introspective. Where PSG is global, I bring something more intimate. Where they have power, I bring nuance. Together, it creates a balance. And that’s where it becomes interesting."
