Maybe you can connect, but I’m not trying to do or say something special.” “What I’m showing is always what I’m just feeling,” he says via a translator.

When asked why he chose Kubrick’s movie as a reference, he said backstage via a translator: “The movie is about how computers start to control human beings.” A fan of Kubrick’s work, he was able to license images from the film and printed them, along with words such as ‘HAL 9000’ and the movie’s title, on a cape, crewneck sweaters, a coaches jacket, bomber jackets, a hoodie, and hats. Takahashi also incorporated space-wear details such as worker gloves in rubber, space station coats, and wellies inscripted with “disorder” on the left foot and “order” on the right.Īccording to Takahashi, he was inspired by Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. As Joy Division’s “Atmosphere” played, models walked down the runway in floor-length pleated skirts, crinkled outerwear, corduroy suits, puffer jackets, and various garments in tartan and argyle. Held at the Stazione Leopolda, the show explored the concept of Order/Disorder. (He made his debut in 2009 also at Pitti Uomo.) While Takahashi has shown his women’s line in Paris every year since 2002, this was only the Japanese designer’s second time showing men’s. After a nine-year break from the runway, Jun Takahashi presented Undercover’s Fall/Winter 2018 menswear collection at Pitti Uomo 93 in Florence, Italy.
