Undercover for Women
Jun Takahashi's Undercover brings the Tokyo underground scene to the forefront of modern design. Early punk-inflected work found support from Comme des Garçons’ Rei Kawakubo, operating under the catchphrase ‘We Make Noise Not Clothes.’ T-Shirts feature kitsch graphics with an asymmetrical hem, while pants and hoodies play with proportion. The Astronaut jacket is a stellar piece in the brand’s archives. Today, jackets lean on the Undercover universe to solidify a legacy amongst esteemed Japanese fashion brands.
