I'm going to have to take my time and look at close ups of this.

Looks pretty much classic "new" Jun to me as far as silhouettes go, most of the action is probably in the details/fabrics.

Nice!

Thanks for posting!

ahh i love this, so good

[gramps]

That first photo really tops them all for me.

So are these colors sort of his go-to palette now? I'm really bad at organizing specific seasons in my head, but it seems like these schemes look familiar. Really nice though. And yeah, I love the respite from runway shots.

That Jun Takahashi is a nutty motherfucker

Some of it's a little too flapper / matronly but otherwise I dig it

[inaya]

it's all soo beautiful

[mpcec]

This is fucking awesome, I want one of those shoulder gimmicks for my bedroom.

[sistersuzie]

oh wow! everything seems so light

[headcoat]

Undercover men's is only ever just ok, but Undercover women's is consistently mindblowing. Beautiful.

[raddy]

Textures look amazing

[ChaseDizzy]

I agree with the beautifulness and I also noticed the boyish flapper silhouettes...makes me wish I was a dame

seriously bout to cop these pants though

I don't know, they've done some pretty cool stuff. Technical outerwear from the past couple of seasons has been pretty cool and made with some legitimately interesting materials (DiAPLEX, man). The Arts and Crafts collection was pretty cool and that felt (is it felt?) riders jacket that's in Supermarket right now is fucking nuts. If I thought that would keep me warm I definitely would've copped.*

*I'm pretty tired so I could be getting N(N) and Undercover mixed up but I'm fairly certain this is all correct

[snafu]

looks great much prefer it on the model i think it would have looked better if they had used a manequin which wasn't the same white as the clothes

[darkanimal]

Those boots are hot fiyah!!!

[inaya]

beauty...

[mr fluffernutter]

i want that big black picture in my house

[geekbonchic]

Some of the more conservative silhouettes remind me of classic Givenchy on acid.

No you are right,

the thing is that so far his men's collections have been an extention of his womens lines, using the same general ideas and approach to materials as well as everytime resolving around a group of garments he considers as his "basics". The men's stuff has afaik still only been shown/presented/sold alongside the womens line.

If he were to be able to put the same energy, effort and intensity into a full mensline I am certain that this would be mind blowing!

And its a synthetic material made to look and act like felt, I believe they discovered/developed it.

Interesting information, thanks Cotton. Now I can't even find that riders jacket in Supermarket anymore I was going to post a picture of it for reference. I had a felt blazer from the collection for a while there and it was really nice. It looked and "felt" like felt but was clearly a very strong material.

i love this. probably my favorite thing so far this season. not really feeling the styling in the warehouse pictures but the clothes look superb.

I feel I have to be clearer on the "his basics" part.

What I meant is not clothing that he would consider his basics to wear himself but more the fact that he has a couple returning items that he will always include in his collection in one way or the other, every season he will do a new reinterpration of these "basics".

The ones I can think of right now are; riders jacket, trenchcoat, dinner jacket, napoleon jacket cardigan, vest/waistcoat etc.
