SS17 “Romanticism Handled With Discipline” Bomber Jacket
Undercover by Jun Takahashi SS17 "Romanticism Handled With Discipline" Bomber. SS17 labeled "Improvised Concepts" where Takahashi was quoted "The men’s is daily wear, rather than conceptual like the women, they’re clothes I want to wear.” which is honestly a self-defeating notion because there's inherently a concept behind this collection anyway(???). There wasn't really a focused narrative in this season, so instead Jun decided to hodgepodge horror references, motifs, cult wear and the like and drew/conveyed it over an ensemble of street-friendly silhouettes and cuts. This is what how he "improvised" the creation process and is largely a reason why the season is labeled "Improvised Concepts". 100% Cotton on the outside, Cupro blend on the inside. Strong vibrant graphics. 9.5/10 condition. Size 4 Fits OS L-XL$450 -

neo boy, neo boy, neo boy,
neo boy melts in jelly machine,
the whole thing is how he can change the scene or be a changeling,
transformation is relative says neo boy.
tropical plants shiver.
what can you say about habitat that hasn’t been said before?
greedy children lap up radioactive jewels spit in the dunes by these so-called know-it-alls.
soon the gleaming bones of innocents will be scattering the sands and some enterprising old soul will gather them up in an old leather bag and sell them to a contact.
some kinda contact.
some kinda roman woman or some kinda bird head.
Someone will come,
a beautiful though thoughtless,
childless shrew who will rearrange the bones with all the discreet adoration of a Japanese boy adjusting his weapon.
neo boy.
he dons,
he dons his bird head,
he dons his bird face mask and plucks up a sharp metal star and cuts a new scene from a sheet of copper.
what can you say about habitat that hasn’t been said again?
we take these pieces of paper.
these precious sheets.
we bend them into birds and we fill the illiterate…
8/10 condition, there's very mild cracking of the graphic. Sz 2.
