Jun Takahashi‘s UNDERCOVER is grounded in mystery, constantly leaving viewers in awe at Paris Fashion Week. The Japanese designer held his Spring\/Summer 2024 showcase in an underground car park, seeing shattered and lit chandeliers lying on the floor wrapped in tulle. Every seat housed a graphic scarf with folklore illustrations, defining the collection with a haunting energy. <\/p>\n
UNDERCOVER’s SS24 collection was eerie and mysterious, seeing low-pitch cellos torment the cement venue. Models strolled slowly down the runway, oozing with ambiguity. The 57-look collection saw Takahashi at his best, beginning the showcase with mesh-covered suiting pinned with roses and gemstones. Printed varsity jackets and T-shirts were pre-faded to perfection, followed by metallic formalwear overrun by bedazzled spiders. <\/p>\n
Essential UNDERCOVER hoodies were wrapped in yellow netting, complemented by polka-dotted textiles that blew against the wind. Demonic workers came alive on vibrant car coats and satin uniforms, seeing reigning kings and queens appear on boxy suits in dim-lit hues. The SS24 show ended with three puffed ballgowns encased with blooming gardens brightening everything in sight. <\/p>\n
