Cult Japanese labels UNDERCOVER and WTAPS return after more than two decades to reignite the desire for their designs. The subculture aesthetic is once again vibrant in this collaborative collection that will be released early this year, dazzling the entire streetwear scene.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Jun Takahashi<\/strong><\/a> and Tetsu Nishiyama<\/strong><\/a>, the founders of the brands that actively participated in the first streetwear wave<\/strong> of the 90s<\/strong> in Harajuku<\/strong>, once again unite their creative imaginations in a high-end capsule that draws directly from the street, punk, and hip-hop that saw them grow up.<\/p>\n

The collection presents the gothic filter that Takahashi<\/strong> applies to his creations<\/a>, fused in a balanced way with Nishiyama<\/strong>‘s military inspiration<\/strong>. A series of minimalist garments on a sleek black base; a utility jacket, a hoodie, a pair of trousers with slits, an iteration of the classic Chuck 70<\/strong>‘s and a cap.<\/p>\n
