These pictures got here with a single quote from the model: “Undercover returns to the model’s roots with Pre-Assortment. With a concentrate on growing ‘Undercover-esque’ appears to be like, overarching seasonal themes are changed in favor of latest put on for on a regular basis life.” No additional clarification is required, or at the least that’s the suggestion.
For his resort males’s lineup, Jun Takahashi saved that promise: There are not any complicated themes, no explicit fanfare. However even at his most stripped down and industrial he stays a deeply compelling designer. A basic Canadian tuxedo has tiny embroidered spiders crawling throughout it, varsity jackets and tailor-made coats are made in sheer vinyls, and hoodies are hybridized with cardigans and t-shirts. Even essentially the most informal and fundamental of things—t-shirts and oxfords—are sliced aside and put again along with Frankenstein-esque seams. Consider them as bite-sized snacks, each for Undercover followers and for these in want of an unchallenging introduction—all of the classics are right here, ready to be changed into a wardrobe.
