FW09 Studded Topcoat
Prada FW09 Prada studded Coat. FW09 marked one of the earlier all-over studded designs that were prominent in Miucca's collections over the next decade. A grey, bleak set with a muted mauve as the floor. Brutal corporate man attire presented the runway; Overcoat, slacks and cockroach oxfords. Occasionally garments were studded with a torrent of hardware in geometrically precise patterns. I wanted to present this piece because Vogue recently released the "lost collections" this month -- due to the 2009 financial crises Vogue had to cut their men's publication temporarily resulting in an absence of coverage of FW09 collections. Vogue was able to recover the images and show notes and published them for all to see. I recommend checking it out! 9/10 condition, almost brand new. Size 52 fits L-XL$1,820 -
AW03 “Closer” Power, Corruption & Lies Label Hoodie
Raf Simons AW03 "Closer" Power, Corruption & Lies Vinyl Label Hoodie. In the Fall/Winter 2003 "Closer" collection, Simons took liberty in pulling from Peter Saville’s archive with Factory Records' permission. Saville, co-founder of Factory Records -- a label company with a strong-willed manifesto tied to the art world, is very deliberate and particular with the choices he makes creating the album art despite it looking pedestrian on the surface. Saville reappropriates artwork to tie to the motifs of the music, resulting to some of the most universally recognizable album covers of all time. A replica Henri Fantin-Latour’s ‘A Basket Of Roses', currently shown in London, is featured as the artwork for New Order's 1983 album "Power, Corruption & Lies" in which Saville interprets as "Flowers suggested the means by which power, corruption and lies infiltrate our lives. They’re seductive.". A palette of cryptic geometric colours are arranged on the top right of the album. These colours actually are a code, a code which cipher is located on the sleeve, and if transcribed reads "FAC. 75" which is the catalogue number (internal reference for the record label) for the album. On the actual vinyl record disc, printed on the vinyl label, is the artwork featured on the hoodie here. A typographic piece, arranged in a clock-like circular format informing the PCL album's details. Size 48, massive.$5,900 -
Virginia creeper AW02 Chenille Lettered Jumper
Raf Simons Virginia Creeper Varsity Jumper. From a previous post: A crimson key light, a runway in the vastness of the ominous nowhere woods and a penchant fondness of varsity nostalgia would best describe the Virginia Creeper AW02 season. The eerie, towering figures with muted colours reflect Raf’s observation of the duality of nature. Working in production, the washes of VC are still referenced by designers to this day. Raf's processing/washing in this collection hit just right to capture the worn, run down, faded and discoloured fabric that piles up in barrels in the corners of the United States. Despite used, dirty, old clothes being discarded and considered garbage by the masses, it is rather difficult to replicate the age and natural processing that it goes through. Simons uses an acid wash technique, along with other processing techniques, to replicate this effect, accelerating the fabric to deteriorate over time. However, certain pieces from the collection received different treatment than others, like the item we have available here :). Sold at the Dover Street sample sale many years ago, this Raf Simons jumper is one of the few unique chenille pieces, each with individually different lettering, processed in a burgundy maroon (originally in a red presuming from the stitching). Reading a unique "TS" and colorway, it is very fitting for the client that bought this item, Travis Scott. 48, fits big.$3,400 -
SS02 “Saeko” Longsleeve Button Up
Yohji Yamamoto Pour Homme SS02 Saeko Longsleeve Button Ups. Saeko is a Japanese artist which excels at vintage 60-80s style commercials, paintings and actresses. You've probably seen one or two pieces of her work of beer ads in ramen shops. She passed away soon after her collaboration with Yohji. The vibrant vintage artwork in this sought after collection is processed through crisp sublimation even on organics which yohji has done tremendously well. Hidden snap button placket to that almost seamlessly converges the front graphic Size 2, 7/10.$2,100 -

FW99 Cork Necklace
Maison Martin Margiela FW99 Cork Necklace. During Margiela's reign at his own label, he challenged the conventions of fashion accessories through means of deconstructing the essentialism of "jewelry". The cork necklace and its many variations are prime examples of this work. Featured here is the stainless steel capped necklace from the FW1999 collection. Stamped on the cork says "Bottled in the Chateau 1989. Place your first wine [cork] of the year 2000 here.” - possibly to incite personal significance. The juxtaposition of accessorizing literal trash with an equipped metanarrative is a cornerstone of the design philosophy of Maison Margiela. 9/10 condition - comes with box! Close to neck.$368 -
Multicolor Borderknit Sweater
Stephen Sprouse “S” 88 Multicolor Border Knit Sweater. For this season and a few seasons onward before his bankruptcy, Sprouse utilized his “xerox on xerox” designs which look were a staple in the late 80s and early 90s before it peaked as a cliche in the mid 90s. Stephen Sprouse pioneered his version of the xerox design at the Andy Warhol factory by xeroxing models/figures and creating a collage resembling the look in the advert pictured here featuring the border knit sweater. The hodgepodge presentation of subjects photographed individually in different contexts, yet grouped together by their essence through a curator, with thick borders, filtered photo degradation and accentuated sharpness as a byproduct from xeroxing the same image consecutively were ubiquitous in 90s youth media.
9/10 condition. Oversized women's M. -
SS17 Nasawi Hand-knit Sweater (Black)
Dries Van Noten Nasawi Handknit Sweater in black. A Multicolor/material knit consisting of silk, linen, cashmere, polyamide, wool, cotton, viscose, paper spun into a clash of colours and materials was featured for the SS17 runway. Due to the complexity of the knits, each item has different details and motifs. Basketweave bottom is haphazardly littered with multiple gauges or sturdiness and materials, some that are elastic with others that are mesh-like accompanied by a more conventional, but subtly complex ribknit top. A notable detail is that the different gauges and yarn weight slightly differ per area allowing for interesting layering options as some areas of the sweater are more transparent than others. 9/10 condition.

SS99 Secret Treasures 3D Floral Tee
Comme Des Garçons Homme Plus SS99 "Secret Treasures" 3D Floral Tee. CDG's reversible clothing is a signature of the label, however SS99 embraces Rei's penchant for dualities. The outdoor runway featured models walking down a flight of stairs and circling a path among the audience in what initially seems to be classic CDGHP silhouettes. As the show continues, the models gradually show the reverse side of their clothing, initially styled in conjunction with other obverse sided clothing, then later fully reverse. The collection features extravagant patterns 'hidden' away inside what seems to be conventional clothing.

SS05 “But Beautiful II” Reconstructed Military Pants
Undercover SS05 But Beautiful II Reconstructed Military Pants. Jun Takahashi plays homage to Jan Švankmajer, a czech surrealist. A key embellishment of this season are eyeball cuff and fly buttons from Švankmajer's "Alice" (1988). Other old world haberdashery motifs resembling early 20th century doll making from the artist's style are crudely sewn into patchwork patterns or detailed on the clothing for the collection's runway. These particular pants are a bonus to SS05 which are more so a follow up to the AW03 paper doll season consisting of similar styles of reconstruction. A slew of military garments are patched together to create wide pants. Remnants of the garments including collar, shoulder, patches, emblems and other details are proudly displayed enveloping the character of the garment instead of chopped off. 8/10 condition. Sz 3. These fits wide and loose, fits a 32-33$1,250 -
FW88 “Robin Des Bois” Blazer
Jean Paul Gaultier FW1988 "Robin Des Bois" Blazer. Gaultier, monickered "Enfant Terrible", flourished in the 80s with beautiful performative collections featuring thematic crossovers from a myriad of cultures, eras and silhouettes. FW88 homme, titled 'Robinhood', was no exception. "The man's suit meets medieval tradition". Runway was littered with middle age visual elements such as shields, knight sigils and fleur de lis embroidery. Knits had triptych graphics of mosaics and house emblems. Patterns consisted of harlequin-esque velour electric oranges and yellows, contrasted with bold moss greens fashioned in argyle. Some models sported pieper hats, resonating "Nostalgic Elegance". The blazer is riddled with embellishments. Metal centerpiece titled with the punk slogan "Too fast to live, too young to die" sewn to a velvet rhombus fabric with beading at the edges. Tassels hang for aluminum fleurs, arranged in a V shape. More hanging embellishments at the bottom of the back. All on a striped, orange velvet fabric. The front is a bold lapelled double breasted blazer. Bespoke metal chest and wrist buttons. News struck this month that Gaultier is bowing out from his own brand. I find it amazing that he kept his brand under his own name for so long as others were gobbled up by fashion conglomerates in the 90s. Many of Gaultier's works are hard to source, especially those that are his most inspirational collections and I look forward for years to come to search and document said pieces. 8/10 condition for a 30+ year old item. None of the embellishments are missing. Some beading on the black velvet is loose and has minor damage. Fading and blemishing on some areas of the velvet. Size 50.$1,775 -
90s “Mini Crini” Stars Denim Jacket
Vivienne Westwood early 90's "Mini Crini" Stars Denim Jacket. The mid 80s marked vivienne's peak works including SS1985 titled "Mini-Crini", a study of fashion juxtapositions. The title itself works as a solid exemplar, "Mini" being the miniskirt and "Crini" referring to the traditional crinoline. The combination of conflicting ideals, a crinoline representing encumbrance and the miniskirt symbolizing liberation, concots designs that serve as a cornerstone to Westwood's fashion iconoclasm that so many are drawn to. SS85 introduced patterns such as the star print, circle print and orb print iconic to Vivienne Westwood and still reappropriated in designs today. What we have here is the early 90s variation of the iconic star jacket with improvements made on top of the 1985 original while strictly keeping the notable qualities of it. One of the more notable new motifs is the classic label on the front left pocket. Denim aged beautifully with unreplicatable fades bringing character to the jacket. 8/10 condition, faded. Size L fits wide and cropped. Can fit an M-L, best for a classic large.$830 -
FW14 “Crossed Crocodiles Growl” Embroidered Wool “Face” Jacket
Walter Van Beirendonck FW14 "Crossed Crocodiles Growl" Embroidered Wool "Face" Jacket. FW14 is yet another Walt collection featuring tribalist motifs and strong advocacy for human rights. From the season's title, crossed crocodiles are symbols used in parts of Africa, especially with the Akan peoples, to indicate unity dating back to the 1400s. Brass or bronze were smithed into alligator charms sharing a stomach used as weights, heirlooms or novelty items. The symbol is epitomized perfectly in this translated proverb: "The crossed crocodiles have one belly but when eating they fight." Jacket is a complex melange blue weaved from fuzzy wool. Knit ribbing. The highlight of the jacket, the back graphic, features a high gauge crochet embroidery which uses shades of pink, teal and black to create shadows and definition. Yarn hangs loose from face to resemble facial hair. Detailed quilted lining featuring an ensemble of Walter logos. 8/10, some discolouration on the knit ribbing. Size 50 Best for a large or loose medium.$830 -

Lastly, what we have here is a rare unaltered size 4, highly coveted as N(N) around this time ran very small making larger sizes more desirable. Condition 9/10. Size 4 Fits a 31-32.$1,655$1,385 -
YYPH x Dianese AW04 Motorcycle Jacket
Yohji Yamamoto Pour Homme AW04 Runway Dianese Motorcycle Jacket. Yohji introduced a collaboration between his labels and the technical motorcycle gear specialist Dianese. The Red/White design strongly resembles the "Toga72" jacket from the Settantadue line. Key differences are the removal of the Dianese logo and zip pocket at the front, "Y O H J I" type leather patch in the center region and the "Riders" design on the back. Minor differences are changes in stitch count, refining of the piping, the concealment of minor production faults and rounder edges. Many variations of the jacket were introduced in 2004 for the Y's line, but few made it to the mainline "Pour Homme" runway. Jacket has padding on elbows and shoulders. 8/10 condition,still has maxfield retail tags. Sz 50.$1,750 -
Tyvek Cartesia Denim
Hussein Chalayan Cartesia Tyvek Denim Pants. Although its unclear to me when these were made they're an obvious nod to Chalayan's commercial runway debut in AW1994. Titled "Cartesia", Hussein Chalayan's catalyst for this collection are his memories of writing to his mother after leaving Cyprus as a youngin'. Best described as "The body becoming like documents", materials for the runway collection were made from tyvek, a rip resistant light material mostly used for post mail and packages (if you're in The US its the material used in usps non flat rate packages), with embellishments resembling EU post designs along the blazer lapels and edges of skirts. A blazer from the runway was fitted for the cover of critically acclaimed album "Post" by Bjork. 5 years later Chalayan released a limited "Air Mail" dress heavily sought out by collectors which folds into a mailable envelope. In 2001 chalayan touched based on the dress" "I was interested in investigating the idea of creating a cyclical scenario, where people react to clothes and the end result. I like the idea of it being interactive… you don't know what people are going to write on it. It's just the raw material, to be themed by the recipient or the sender. The dress can go off on its own course. I like doing that. It's like picking up a seed from the air and you don't know what will happen to it. It's quite a creative way of working - creating a situation and then withdrawing.". These pants are wrapped in tyvek along the waistline and sides. The denim indigo dye rubs off on the tyvek creating an interesting aging effect. 7/10 condition. Size 30$290 -
AW03 Blistered Leather Bondage Jacket

AW02 “Nowhere Man” Vintage Patchwork Long Sleeve
Number (N)ine by Takahiro Miyashita AW02 Patchwork Long Sleeve. Aw02's runway, titled "Nowhere Man", was set in an edwardian themed viewing room assorted with dining chairs and tables. Models slowly sauntered along the catwalk wearing knits, muddy tones, felt hats, wool cardigans revolving around the ethos of The Beatles guitarist George Harrison. This is all a bit irrelevant though as these patchwork shirts weren't featured on the runway. These shirts are all 1 of 1, constructed from a stack of shirts, pieced out and sewn together jointed by a silk braid piping. What we have here is a sz 4, rendering this item quite desirable amongst collectors as these run quite small and lanky. 7/10, mild holes, neck stretching is very common with these shirts. Size 4 fits M-L.$2,450 -
FW03 “Closer” Unknown Pleasures Melange Knit
Raf Simon FW03 "Closer" Unknown Pleasures Melange Knit. Raf Simons in FW03 took liberty in pulling from Peter Saville's archive. Joy division, New Order and other saville motifs were plastered, knit or painted on the post-punk centered collection of 03. The iconic Unknown Pleasures album cover was also pulled for this collection, used on a leather jacket and the knit featured here. The runway colorway was in a straight black, the variation here is in a melange cream. What many may not know is that Saville reappropriated the original graphic from the very first visual representation of pulsars from a neutron printed in the Cambridge Encyclopedia of Astronomy (1977). Saville reasoned that Joy Division “very astutely spotted this image as potentially a wonderfully enigmatic symbol for a record cover.” The unusual phenomenon of the album cover's appeal is so ingrained into the fabric of society, with its endless interpretations and parodies, that it eclipses Joy Division's musical influence. Size 48. 6/10 condition. Rips and tears at seams. Pilling.$1,000 -
“SEX” 70’s Striped Mohair
The next installment in our continuing Seditionaries capsule with @aeonarchive is the Sex Shop mohair sweater in the iconic red and black colorway. Granted, the term iconic has been used frequently in the critique of fashion, however it’s rarely in regards to a garment that has shifted the public’s perception of style with, or without their awareness. This piece both in of itself, as well as the color-way, is the root of multiple fashion movements throughout pop culture history. In regards to the recent resurgence of interest in japanese brands that are endrenched in the punk scene like Undercover, Number (N)ine, and Fragment one cannot forget that cornerstone motifs they are remembered for were wholly taken from the mother of punk fashion, Vivienne Westwood, and her store, which at the time of this release was deemed the “Sex Shop.” Variations of this sweater were worn by the likes of Kurt Cobain, who was influenced to purchase the jumper by Courtney love at a “Breeders” show in 1992 because she wanted him to look like Sid Vicious. Although culturally this sweater has been attached to Kurt, it was Sid Vicious and John Lydon of the Sex Pistols were the first ones who to sport striped mohairs. Beginning in the mid seventies, they left lasting images of their eccentric style that continually inspire generations of designers, and consumers alike. The fit is unique to every piece, although they all follow a similar code of cropped sleeves, shortened length, and extended shoulder line. This specific fit set up the code of what would be known as classic “punk”. 8/10 condition, mildly shrunk. Fits XS$1,125 -
Early 80’s x World’s End Mickey Tee
Today, we bring you three tees, two of which hail from the original mail-order undertaking in 1976, available in a variety of sizes before Seditionaries had their realization in retail stores. With the third being part of the 80’s era when Seditionaries began collaborating and stocking their items in brick and mortar shops of their previous competitor BOY (later Boy London) and their own World’s End. These items range in size, as the made-to-order t-shirts used were famously salvaged by McLaren’s team. The origins of the graphics go far back to 1967, when the satirical magazine “The Realist” published an unsigned cartoon mural by artist Wally Wood, which depicted childhood Disney icons engaged in mass acts of provocative debauchery. Vivienne was fond of this illustration. She reappropriated and to some extent mimicked the subjects on a variety of prints released throughout her involvement with the Seditionaries line. The first tee is the “Snow White & The Sir Punks” graphic. The concept and positions are nearly unchanged from the original, aside from Snow White’s vulva being exposed, the shafts are clearly drawn, and the act depicted leaves little concealed. It was through the printing process that the Seditionaries edge truly shined through, such as the seminal split-fountain treatment utilized on this specific piece which added to the visual detail. The second tee’s graphic portrays Mickey and Minnie engaging in intercourse, which contrary to the Snow White graphic was drastically changed from the Wally Wood’s mural. On the original illustration, Minnie is shown to be conducting a sexual exchange for payment for the character Goofy while Mickey and various other onlookers watch in amusement. On Vivienne’s rendition, major changes are made to Mickey’s attire for instance, which references the seminal punk rock bassist Sid Vicious of the “Sex Pistols.” The Third, made after the original mail order brochure, is of Mickey shooting up heroin. In the same vein as the Snow White graphic, this illustration goes completely unchanged from the original except for the staple Anarchy “A” replacing Mickey’s right ear. Seditionaries was Vivienne’s breakthrough project which laid out the groundwork for the visual language of the Punk fashion movement, which would later be endlessly appropriated. Aside from these “found images,” Malcolm and Vivienne would often outsource graphics from a variety of internationally acclaimed artists such as Jamie Reed – the graphic designer behind the “Sex Pistols.” With the mind of McLaren commercializing punk’s popularity, and Westwood’s penchant for iconoclasm, the duo molded iconic signifiers for the heart of the british punk movement. Staining around neck. Abrasions on hems. Should fit M-L$550 -

FW91 “French Cancan” Muscle Zip Knit
Jean Paul Gaultier Maille FW91 "French Cancan" Muscle Body Knit. JPG body suits or tatoo tops of the 90s are a core element in the litany of revolutionary designs under the designer's belt. As "heroin chic" started to manifest in the early 90's, Gaultier took a play at the early 80's "supermodel" ultra idealized male body rendering the featured knit here with padding resembling muscle definition. Midsection of the garment emulates the male torso as the end seams wrap around to the wearer in accordance to the anatomy of a sculpted Apollo's belt. Recently suspended display at the FIT "The Body, Fashion and Physique" exhibit as of March. Pictures of the gallery shown. New, preserved condition. sz 52, Fits M-L depending on desired fit.$855 -
FW03 “Curve” Wool Patchwork Pants
Comme Des Garcons Homme Plus FW03 "Curve" Wool Patchwork Pants. Models from all walks of life walked down the runway for Rei Kawakubo's FW03. Classic, loose CDG silhouettes with graphic embellishments on the blazers. A key motif however is the typography used in the graphic designs. Rarely does Rei express her political beliefs, but for this season she quoted the likes of poet and playwright Henrik Ibsen: "The majority is always wrong" and more so for the women's collection, entrepreneur and fashion journalist Gene Krell: "Conformity is the language of corruption". These heavily individualistic one liners, to us, is the spiritual embodiment of Comme des Garcons. CDG let the audience peer into Rei's personal rhetoric which echoed and then later diminished starting with the political turmoil in the early 2000's. 9/10 condition. Size M fits 32, but has button tackable sinches that can accommodate down to a 30.$395 -
Murakami x LV 55 Monogramouflage Keepall
Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami 55 "Monogramouflage" Keepall. 2008 marked another Takashi Murakami exhibit which yielded a pop up store by Louis Vuitton in the Brooklyn Museum. Based on the articles at the time, the public focus wasn't so much on Murakami's works but the pattern conceived between then LV's director Marc Jacobs and Murakami.

AW06 “Stop Terrorizing Our World” Bone Knit Sweater
Walter Van Beirendonck FW06 “Stop Terrorizing Our World” Miss Amazon Bones Knit Sweater. FW06 marked WVB’s protocollection for politically and socially charged motifs(outside of his “Gender?” collection of 2000) abundantly present in collections today. Models walked along the catwalk in dim suits with slogans sporadically plastered among their clothing. At the half-way point of the show, models reversed their outfits, removed tops and changed their make up to behold elaborate displays of deeper issues which walter describes here: I created characters on the backs of the models. In my view, they represent the protagonists that are important in our contemporary world. The Exterminator, for example, with all the diseases around the world, such as AIDS, overpopulation, fevers, and so on. Mr. Greedy stood for America and the fast food industry, Presidents Bush and Reagan, fighting and war. We had Miss Amazon, who was partly a beautiful woman (we used Madonna as the symbol) and partly a decomposing body, with exposed bones that nonetheless still wear designer jewellery. The Rainbow Man was me: I still believe in rainbows This knit sweater was hidden under and then revealed later for the decomposing beacon of beauty named “Miss Amazon”. Knit represents a skeletal caricature of the upper chest. Sits on the waist, and fitted with ribbing only on the arms rendering the chest to fit like a tee. 7.5/10 condition. Multiple mild stains seen here. In front chest and back of arm.$428 -
Original (Late 70’s) “Destroy” Muslin
Seditionaries "Destroy" Muslin with swastika print This particular “Destroy” muslin dates back to the late 70’s, and was only available in the UK via mail order for 9.5 British Pounds. This era of the Seditionaries tag is widely considered by collectors to be the key identifier for the original run, as many items during this time were exclusively produced under made-to-order requests. There were many variations of these muslins that were adorned with homosexual acts, pornographic novelizations of children’s cartoons, defaming political figures, child pornography (depicted as “censored”), nazi imagery, some of which are shown on the next slide. The narrative to incorporate provocative graphics were rooted in Vivienne Westwood’s convictions with freedom of expression, as wearing such imagery at that time ran the risk of imprisonment. Fits an S-M. Snaps at collars broke and are pinned with safety pins. Immense amount of distressing. Stains from metal corrosion. Back flap torn.$1,040 -

FW11 “Decadence” Reconstructed Patchwork Silk Button Up
Comme Des Garcons Homme Plus FW11 "Decadence" Reconstructed Patchwork Silk Button Up. Rei Kawakubo's FW11 runway for men was a cultural nightmare criss-crossing and connecting references to points there should be no business of having a connection to. Each model wore a crudely placed wig on top, everything below was a Pollock of Chinese patterned silks, English mad hatter silhouettes, Japanese hakamas, Vegas prints. That being said, despite the lack of any real definable signifier to process there seems to be a gravitating harmony in Rei's pursuit to find beauty in the ugly which she triumphs time and time again. Tees and button ups from this collection were reconstructed from vintage tees and silk scarves and button ups respectively. Each item is unique including its flaws, quality of silk, graphics and print. 8.5/10 condition, some flaws at the bottom right panel. Sz S, fits long, fits slim S-M.$450 -
FW01 Riot Riot Riot! Patched Ma-1 Camo Bomber
Raf Simons FW01 Riot Riot Riot! Patched MA-1 Camo Bomber. The nearly tiring reminder, but well merited and critically acclaimed Raf Simons collection that represents the cornerstone of men's "archive". The conversation piece that served as a catalyst to mainstream interest of Raf Simons and past mens fashion as a whole; The Riot Riot Riot! patched bomber still stands today as one of the most coveted articles of men's clothing. Simply a Fostex bomber, purchasable at many army surplus stores around the world, patched on with images of Bowie, Richy Edwards, a Bauhaus Poster, and an article for the missing Edwards from the Manic Street Preachers. After sporting sleek, monotone capes, cloaks and academic looks in the 90's, Raf took a hiatus and returned with the iconoclastic Riot collection. Featuring layered compositions of jackets over coats and massive pants with scarves wrapped around the models' faces which look was inspired from east european youth layering for cold winters. In a time where sleek geometric minimalism or gaudy buckle belts with distressed jeans were a common occurrence on the runway, Raf Simons introduced a baggier, menacing look compelled by his music/film interests plastered on clothing in a postmodern mishmash which many are still inspired by 20 years later today. 9/10 condition. OS$20,000 -
FW13 Anatomicouture Leather Rider
Undercover FW13 Anatomicouture Leather Rider. The Anatomicouture collection visualized Jun’s study with human anatomy.

Like other outwear from the collection, the jacket is mildly insulated with thin quilt in muave. Zipper pockets and cinches with concealed plackets. Zip around compartment pockets.
The Leather Rider is the staple jacket from the FW13 season and is unfortunately only available in sizes on the smaller end. Here we have a coveted and rarely surfaced size 5, the largest size available from undercover, for sale.

Puffer Button Up Shirt
Carol Christian Poell Sample Puffer Shirt. Enigmatic artisan CCP is a revered, established designer even outside of the 'avant-garde' dark fashion circle it was originally associated with in the mid 2000's. Poell's individuality and intricate design techniques outshined and more importantly outlived visually similar labels that had more singular gritty narratives which arguably shared some aesthetic principles with CCP. The respect for the designer is well praised, ubiquitously, by creatives, critics and connoisseurs alike for his zealously conceptual approach to challenging fashion design's norms, as if the execution to said challenges came naturally to him. Growing up in leather trade and a scholar tailor, CCP is involved in every step of his design process from fabrics, to dye processing, to even the 'marketing' where he displays his work only when he deems necessary. Diffident to interviews, independent from trends, meticulous in his design approach, CCP is a master at his craft and a slave to nothing. Puffer shirt is stuffed with synthetic insulation similar to those in some puffer jackets. Mellow tangerine dyed, as with many CCP pieces, has a murkiness with beautiful dynamic color range. Cut Slim 9/10 condition. Sz 48 fits close to chest medium.$600 -
Number (N)ine Salvaged Silk Lined Bandana
Number (N)ine bandana made from authentic Number (N)ine pocket lining fabric salvaged from a closing mill in Japan. The "mechanic" print was used in various pocket lining in pants from the mid to late 2000's during Miyashita's reign at his own house before selling it off in 09. Bandana is lined with white silk with a print of the Lamborghini print Miyashita used in the early 00's. These bandanas are made in house in collaboration with Worn On LA as catalyst to our upcoming production facility set to start cutting & sewing later this quarter.$58Number (N)ine’s “Mechanic” logo-type designed by Takashi Komatsu is idiosyncratic of the brand’s creator Takahiro Miyashita’s larger narrative. Logo-flips were one of the first graphical techniques he practiced when the brand first started in 1997, usually referencing the visual language of music genres that resonated with him at a younger age. The Mechanic logo-type first appeared during the S/S 2000 “Extra Heavy” collection, applied as patches on outerwear, inline fabric on pockets, and screen-printed on numerous garments. The mechanic design effortlessly characterized the Golden Age of Rock n’ Roll, and has continually resonated with members of streetwear culture, ensuring its place within the canon of staple graphics.
65 of these bandanas are only available. 22" x 22" -
AW03 “Paperdoll” Osama/Bush Skull Down Puffer
Undercover AW03 "Paper Doll" Osama/Bush Down Puffer Jacket. Along with the iconic hybrid reconstructed jacket and pants from the coveted "Paper Doll" collection are two patterns depicting the faces of American President George W Bush and Al-Queda Founder Osama Bin Laden in forms of military camouflage which were applied on various garments. Jun Takahashi, similar to his strongest source of inspiration, Vivienne Westwood, never came short in expressing his anti war sentiments in the peak iconoclast eras of Undercover -- These were, for the most part, exclusive to the mens collections. Possibly due to Takahashi's focus on women's fashion as a creative outlet while the men's designs were focused on what he sees himself wearing. Fairly recently however, Undercover is said to have take a strong shift in its principles by focusing on the conceptual aspect of menswear. Down jacket has osama/bush pasted on the eyes of skulls and patterned in different contrasts of moss green. Nylon outer, with down feather insulation. Multiple hidden compartments in the back and two small hidden zip pockets in the left arm. What looks like a removable blank velcro nameplate on front and back. YKK zippers. 8/10 condition.

SS05 Artisanal Soccer Scarf Wristband
Maison Margiela SS05 Artisanal Soccer Scarf Wristband. Margiela throughout his reign at his own label has frequently integrated sports motifs into his reconstructed works. Soccer shoes made into vests, rugby balls made into purses, golf gloves made into bags and so on. These unique and limited artisanal works were hand done at the Margiela house in France up until the mid 2000's (some of the later works were produced in Italy). The SS05 artisanal collection introduced rugby/soccer scarf reconstruction including the iconic Soccer vest which lesser version was reproduced for the H&M collaboration in late 2012.

FW98 “Believe” Three Fingered Gloves
Walter Van Beirendonck W< FW98 "Believe" Three Fingered Gloves.

Walter conveys to the audience an alien story every season using visual and word queues -- similar to naming segments of a play.

A few three fingered gloves were produced for this season, this one sports a transparent window at the fingers, beige outer and ruched entryway. 7/10 condition, signs of wear and mild stains.

APOC Towelterry Sample Jacket
Issey Miyake early 00's Sample Towelterry Jacket.

AW02 “Virginia Creeper” Distressed Leather Coat
Raf Simons AW02-03 Virginia Creeper Distressed Heavy Leather Coat. A crimson key light, a runway in the vastness of the ominous woods and a penchant fondness of varsity nostalgia would best describe the Virginia Creeper AW02 season. The eerie, towering figures with muted colours reflect Raf’s observation of the duality of nature. This collection is more so immersed not by the graphics but with pieces like the coat shown here. This heavy leather coat and similar variations were on the runway over multiple layers of outerwear, puffers, plastic raincoats and baggy trousers to emphasize the cast of the menacing and slouched cut out of the wearer.

SS98 “A Fetish for Beauty” Light Wizzkid Jacket
W< SS98 "A Fetish for Beauty" Wizzkid Jacket. W<, short for "Wild and Lethal Trash", was one of Walter Van Beirendoinck's now defunct offsprings alongside Aestheticterrorists.

SS16 “Electric Eye” Blazer
Walter Van Beirendonck SS16 "Electric Eye" Blazer. Designers that take a strong course of political activism within their work are scarce. As an artist, a sense of social responsibility is inherited when one has the privilege of carrying the megaphone. When it comes to fashion, expressing a designer's political agenda may result in harsh public rejection or controversy, which may be counter intuitive to a label's commercial interests, but yet as a notable designer a platform is open to convey their creative manifestations of what they please to the public. Walter Van Beirendonck, the father of Belgian fashion, remarkably doesn't come short of expressing his political beliefs but uses allusions and metaphors usually in a form of new fictitious characters season to season. "Electric Eye" derives from Bowie's "Moonage Daydream" and a Judas Priest song of the same title which references Orwell's "1984". For the SS16 season Walter conjures a character with a single eye on a black thundercloud signifying the current state of creeping surveillance, the "Big Brother". Said creature was plastered on elastic materials and cotton tops, accompanied with Walter's signature grand and madly extravagant expressions of patterns, hats, colours and cuts. The collection featured patterns typically resembling wallpaper of a pediatrician's waiting lobby or a Scholastic book fair poster. These patterns, according to Walter, are a stark contrast to the dark suits that were presented on the runway -- a visual statement which represents mankind's liberation from the ominous overseeing obumbration; The 'black clouds', the "Electric Eye". 8/10 condition, some mild stains in the inside of the blazer. Size 48.$380 -

Models were bare-chested or lightly clothed, overshadowed by detailed silk robes. Camp shirt shown here is a modest rendition of Gucci's floral designs on the runway, resembling some of the chipper and vibrant designs Gucci adopted in the early 00's. 7.5/10 condition. Bleach marks on the inside of the collar which aren't shown when worn. Mild Blemishes. Sz S but fits wide and rather large for small, best for a medium.$400 -
