HISTORY
Released in Spring/Summer 1999 under designer Jun Takahashi, this coat originates from UNDERCOVER’s seminal “RELIEF” collection. This period is recognized for its investigation into garment memory and reconstruction, where existing clothing forms were metaphorically dismantled and reinterpreted through surface treatment. Over-dyeing was used to emphasize seams, structural traces, and former functional elements, aligning with Takahashi’s conceptual approach to clothing as an archive of wear, labor, and time.
