A preview of the upcoming spring collection from Undercoverism shows a range that does not fall far from the main collection.

Undercover’s Jun Takahashi follows up his stunning fall collection with a futuristic special guest appearance at Pitti Immagine Uomo; his first showing in Italy. Undercover’s spring looks have evolved from last season’s survivalist aesthetic to a minimalist avant-garde approach. Still maintaining control on the range of colors offered, the line features tailored garments as well as more relaxed athletic-inspired looks. As a nod to the future, distinct eyewear and footwear remain a constant throughout the collection. Also, diverse textures augment the variety of the pieces. Overall, one might say that the styles of the future have never looked so promising.

Black is not the only constant looming over the upcoming fall season. Many designers have turned to a theme of survival. Jun Takahashi is the latest designer to find his creative vision in the midst of a survivalist instinct. Two components of the Undercover fall collection are innovation and a desire to stay warm. The gradient dominated range is limited in terms of color, dwelling in the earth tone range, but is rich in diverse pieces. The collection includes everything from cloaks and knitted leggings to knits and blazers. Best layered for stylish and utilitarian purposes, the individual pieces maintain a harmony that is sure to be a welcomed ally come this fall.
Hypebeast recently posted about the latest Undercover collection by designer Jun Takahashi. Takahashi’s spring collection is perfect for those of us who suffer from split personalities when it comes to fashion. Fashion on a daily basis can get complicated. A never ending question is whether to play it safe or to be edgy? It seems like there is a time and place for everything. Takashashi sees that. The first part of his collection called “Neoboy” plays it safe with stylish pieces, but conservative looks when it comes to the world of fashion. On the other hand, Takashashi pulls all the stops out for “Neoboy’s” foil titled “Poptones.” “Poptones” plays with prints, textures, as well as matte and shiny finishes. “Neoboy” is fiitting for day wear, while “Poptones” is perfect for afterhours. This leaves you to ponder the question…Are you a “Neoboy” or a “Poptones” boy?
