Jun Takahashi Pays a Tribute to Japanese Heritage And to highlight the sequence, we have the strict and portrait-like Renaissance shapes, perfect hips, and underpinnings perfectly printed with razor blades and roses.

The movie was referenced by Takahashi himself with an astounding performance curtailing its central themes through the male perspective.įor his peppy womenswear collection, Takahashi’s ramp attendants seem to have shown a much-sedated look in a Marais showroom. This fashion-themed movie retells the glory of the Macbeth set based back in feudal Japan. Having taken a swan dive into his heartfelt cultural passion for Japan, Jun Takahashi has revived the heritage through Akira Kurosawa’s 1957 film, Throne of Blood. But the fashion godfather has never allowed his past to interfere with his present dedication to fashion.įor all of us (including myself) awaiting the Fall 2020 fashion event, well, Takahashi has got some good news with his Japanese heritage collections. The ‘ The Tokyo Sex Pistols ‘ singer has deliberately allowed himself and his infinite collections to be craved for and hunted by many things. Some of their recent collaborations such as the Converse Chuck 70, Nike’s React Element 87, among others, has urged Undercover to make its moves in the footwear industry as well.Īnd speaking of fashion wear, well, Jun Takahashi has breathed life into the world of fashion by utilizing the cultural heritage of Japan in each of his creations.

Jun Takahashi’s UNDERCOVER saw its birth back in 1990 and was crafted with love by the now legendary fashion designer. Undercover has been his life’s blood since 1990, and for nearly three decades now, I guess the fashion label has been revived to uncompromised levels and all praises vests with Takahashi. The 50-year old Japanese fashion designer has indeed taken modern apparel motifs to new and unpredictable heights. Lavishly illustrated with more than 200 photographs and in-depth essays by fashion writers, curators, and colleagues, this book gives readers first time access into Takahashi’s UNDERCOVER, one of the most desired and multidimensional clothing lines in contemporary fashion.Undercover fame Jun Takahashi is one of the most ‘paparazzi-crowded’ fashion designers, and it’s all for good and colorful reasons. The violent rending and hasty reassembly that characterized his early work, its calculated imperfections and sutured seams, have given way to collections that he himself now calls "sexy and feminine." UNDERCOVER is insightfully curated with fashion-filled chapters devoted to Takahashi’s sketches, graphic work, collaborations, and most innovative designs to date. But Takahashi would blaze an entirely different path to legend and notoriety. Hailing from Gunma Prefecture like his friend NIGO® of *A Bathing Ape®, Takahashi’s long association with the undisputed king of Ura-Harajuku in the early 1990s is now the stuff of local fashion lore.
A fixture of the Paris collections for more than ten years-plus seventeen uninterrupted seasons in Tokyo prior to that-Takahashi’s life’s work confirms a maturation from self-conscious artifice and rebel pastiche to a steely, withering elegance all his own. While not quite populist, his generative influences are instead romantic-even gothic.
Takahashi Jun’s fashion is not born out of an excessively intellectualized agenda. Details: The first comprehensive book on the work of Jun Takahashi of UNDERCOVER, an icon of Harajuku streetwear and the presumptive heir to the heavy mantle of Japanese deconstruction.
