Takahashi created when he was still a student at the Bunka Fashion College in Tokyo, taking a lot of influence from the Sex Pistols, punk rock and Rei Kawakubo’s COMME des GARCONS.
When trying to think of Japanese designers who have created actual ‘masterpieces’, the two names you will probably remember are Jun Takahashi and UNDERGROUND.
In this column, we will introduce you to some of these masterpieces that remain in the history of men’s fashion, and look into the process in which they were created. People sometimes call them ‘masterpieces’. These aren’t just consumed and thrown away they instead start shining brighter and brighter with the years. Jackets that have made fans crazy ever since they were announced on the runway M51 coats that have become revalued over the years rider’s jackets and denim pants that have been raised to the level of art pieces. There exist items out there which don’t get caught in the whirlpool of consumer society, that have their own authentic value. People throw away and buy new items, and so the process repeats this is how the cycle of the fashion industry turns right now. They disappear from the memories of the people who wore them, the people who saw them being worn, even from the people who made them in the first place. These items are to be consumed by us people, will one day turn old and are thrown away with the garbage like mere pieces of cloth. At this very moment in time, hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands items are being created.
