Jun Takahashi, the iconic figure in Harajuku streetwear and potential successor to the Japanese deconstruction throne, is the focus of the first comprehensive book on his work at UNDERCOVER. Unlike many designers, Takahashi's fashion is not driven by an overly intellectualized agenda. Instead, his inspiration comes from romantic and gothic influences, creating a unique and intriguing aesthetic.
Having been a staple at the Paris collections for over a decade, with an impressive seventeen seasons in Tokyo before that, Takahashi's evolution as a designer is evident. His early work was characterized by violent rending and hasty reassembly, with calculated imperfections and sutured seams. However, he has since transitioned to a style he describes as "sexy and feminine," showcasing a matured and elegant aesthetic all his own.
Originally hailing from Gunma Prefecture like his friend NIGO® of *A Bathing Ape®, Takahashi's early connection with the Ura-Harajuku scene in the 1990s has become legendary in local fashion circles. But his journey to fame and notoriety took a different path, leading to the creation of UNDERCOVER.
With insightful curation, this book delves into Takahashi's sketches, graphic work, collaborations, and most innovative designs. Featuring over 200 photographs and essays by fashion experts, curators, and colleagues, readers are granted exclusive access into the world of UNDERCOVER. This highly coveted and multifaceted clothing line is explored in detail, showcasing its impact on contemporary fashion.
