FW09 Silk Jacquard Blazer
Number (N)ine by Takahiro Miyashita FW09 Silk Jacquard Blazer in Cream/Blue. FW09 was the magnus opus for Takahiro Miyashita as he exited N(N) -- what his fans thought was his permanent departure from his creative aspirations. The collection featured 18th and 19th century influences with intricate tailoring and masterful craftsmanship. One of the more costly collections (with jackets averaging $3000), Miyashita's FW09 creations featured layered pattern silk for lining, embossed floral designs and velvet appliques. In the next following days we'll be posting a few items from the FW09 collection, diving into the details of Miyashita's somber departure from his own brand which eventually became the catalyst for 'The Soloist'. Full silk lining with jacquard silk details. Button is sought to be closed up for display purposes. Intended wear is to tie the velvet string around the bear mid button as shown in the runway look. Many variations of this jacket exist with this being the most detailed back portion. Extremely rare sz 5. 9.5/10 condition.$800 -
FW05 “The High Streets” Hybrid Cargo Pants
Number (N)ine by Takahiro Miyashita Hybrid Pants. Well imitated and highly sought after 'hybrid' or 'docking' pants from FW05 "The High Streets"; A deep look at romanticized streetwear on the runway. Bandana wrapped models walked on the catwalk with reconstructed jackets and pants sporting crudely attached cargo pockets and straps. Miyashita's influence was a strong adaptation from the Japanese 80's style of "American Casual" which later transitioned to the "Shibuya Casual" movement in the early 90's. Vansons leathers, Levis 501s, Goros jewelry, Flannels and Redwings with mild grunge and americano influences were commonly worn during said era. Miyashita sought to rejuvenate the aesthetic by maximizing the grunge roots of the movement and such is clearly indicative by running the album "Bleach" by Nirvana for the runway. This iteration of the Hybrids Pants feature an adjustable waist slack top, distressed bottom sweats with two buckled large pockets and ankle zips. Upwards of 25 variations of Hybrids exist with the more detailed being harder and harder to find. 9/10 condition. Size 2-3, size tag is missing. Fits 29/30$940 -
