Banana Republic takes its fall wardrobe for a spin through Tokyo
Supermodel Valentin Humbroich heads to Tokyo for Banana Republic’s September 2026 edit, where fall dressing gets a little more traveled, layered and lived-in.
The new outing sends Humbroich through the city alongside Aubrey O’Mahony and Rina Fukushi, building a wardrobe around the kind of pieces that can move from one place to the next without suddenly needing a personality transplant.
Think relaxed tailoring, substantial leather and suede jackets, layered shirting, denim and an archive-inspired rugby jersey — familiar menswear staples sharpened by Tokyo rather than dressed up like a travel costume.

Tokyo gives Banana Republic’s travel instinct a sharper city edge
Banana Republic has spent much of 2026 circling back to one of the ideas that made the brand distinctive in the first place: clothes tied to travel and place.
Earlier edits moved through New Mexico, Portugal and Japan’s Chiba Coast. September takes that same instinct into a denser urban setting, where the clothes have to work against Tokyo streets, restaurants and traditional interiors rather than a big scenic landscape.
That shift suits the season. Fall is when Banana Republic’s strongest categories — outerwear, knitwear, tailoring and heavier layers — get to do more of the talking.
The clothes feel familiar because that is exactly the point
The Fashionisto frames the edit around a simple idea: Banana Republic’s man travels well. Not because he is wearing some exaggerated expedition uniform, but because the pieces are already familiar enough to keep working wherever he lands.
That is where the September lineup gets interesting. Brown tailoring sits beside checked overshirts, loose denim and tactile outerwear. Rugby stripes and chore-jacket shapes bring a little archive energy without turning the whole thing into nostalgia.
Japan also makes sense as the setting. Its long-running relationship with refining Western menswear classics gives the edit a natural context for Banana Republic’s own balance of tailoring, utility and travel-minded dressing.

Humbroich has already been part of several Banana Republic stories this year, and there is a reason he works so naturally in this world: he can make classic clothes look lived in instead of merely styled.
Tokyo does the rest. The city gives the familiar wardrobe enough friction, movement and texture to make Banana Republic’s latest travel chapter feel like fall actually arrived somewhere worth going.
