So this time, I have completely removed the idea of a runway. However, if I were to do a live runway, I would want to add some form ofВ вЂњentertainmentвЂќВ completely separated from reality. IВ certainly miss having a live runway show. I was designing with a more relaxed feeling, something completely separate from COVID-19, with the idea of returning back to our lives before.Д¤) Do you miss not having the ability to put on a live show? Did it affect the thinking behind this collection? Did the current circumstances have something to do with it? Finally, after 7 years, I decided to use some of his recent works and the collaboration was formed.ДЈ) There is a softness and coziness to the collection.

His work has a lot of commonalities with my own. After that, I used his work in my F/W 2014 showВ вЂњCOLD BLOODвЂќВ as a print. I was also able to meet Markus at that time. IВ went to see MarkusвЂ™s exhibition at a gallery in Paris and I liked it so much that I bought some of his works. There are a few different concepts incorporated into the designs.Дў) Tells us about Markus Akesson, the artist behind the graphics. I was aiming to design items that could be worn every day, items that I would want to wear, while also infusing the spirit of UNDERCOVER. We caught up with Takahashi via email to ask him a few questions about the collection and his current mood.ДЎ) What was the main idea behind this collection?

His mix of quirkiness and genius for graphics paid off regardless of the limitations of the presentation format. Still, the designer managed to pull off one of our favorite collections this season вЂ“ not that we expected anything less. ItвЂ™s a Zoom / everything-from-home world out there, and like it or not we are all in it, including Jun Takahashi, the designer of Undercover.
