UNDERCOVERISM announces its return with the FW "Neoboy"

Jun Takahashi, does this name mean anything to you? The designer who in the space of sixteen years has gone from a young student to the leading exponent of an evocative fashion. We are talking about him, the founder of Undercover, the well-known brand that for years has brought the street imprint and Japanese punk culture to the catwalks. In short, a name of considerable weight, especially if we consider all the other sub-labels that he himself created: The Shepherd, JohnUndercover, SueUndercover and Madstore. As if this were not enough, another one is added to the list. In fact, we hear of the imminent return of UNDERCOVERISM.

For the uninitiated, we are not talking about a new label created from scratch but of what until 2015 represented the UNDERCOVER men’s clothing line. Well, after a period of brand unification, the brand is ready to reappear solo with its new Fall Winter collection entitled “Neoboy”. A title not chosen by chance but, taken from the Spring Summer 2009 “Neoboy & Poptones” in honor of the punk icon Patti Smith.

But let’s get to the point and talk about this phantom collection that will certainly amaze the most avant-garde eyes. Through a process of 40 pieces, the brand redefines its tailoring skills once again by perfectly mixing asymmetrical cuts, irregular constructions and unbalanced structures. A perfect joint that might seem like a game but underneath denotes great mastery as well as creative ingenuity.

A roundup of deformed garments such as coats and bombers come to life thanks to the combination of checked and striped motifs in a neutral palette. We could almost call it a constructed simplicity.

The rich assortment of clothing is also accompanied by accessories such as stoles and sneakers. A captivating design that of UNDERCOVER or better UNDERCOVERISM which, on every occasion, does not give up its good dose of creative flair. But as if this were not enough, to complete the whole there is another particular element given by the headdresses made by the French artist Anne-Valerie Dupond.

We already inform you, dear readers, that unfortunately the headdresses are not for sale but, as far as the collection is concerned, you can already find that on the official website.
