Takahashi Jun's fashion is not born out of an excessively
intellectualized agenda. While not quite populist, his generative
influences are instead romantic-even gothic. 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. 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. But Takahashi would
blaze an entirely different path to legend and notoriety. 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. 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.
