There's a couple quotes in there that I want to c/p to give these videos some context but can't. God damn it, NYT. Anyways, was digging around for archival runway show footage and came across these.
Start at 18:45 for this one:
I get to break the news that Undercover by Jun Takahashi and TAKAHIROMIYASHITATheSoloist will be the next Guest Designer at Pitti Uomo in January with back-to-back shows. This will be SIIIIIIICK!!

Hi All,
Was browsing ye olde yahoo Japan for an UC jacket, found it, but was shocked (shocked!) to see it's made in China?!?

This jacket is usually a staple and I got the last version(FW15) which was made in Japan.
Is this a new thing for this collection? Has the quality suffered? What's going on?! Not to be prejudiced against Chinese manufactured goods, but a lot of the charm of UC was that most things were made in Japan, especially the suiting which was amazing. Usually I get these pieces blind online but will check them out in person, I'm sure I won't be able to tell the difference, but still.....
TL;DR: Why UC why?
Ha, weird - everything I own is made in Japan. I also don't mind, as long as it's reflected in the price, but yeah, can't help feeling a little jolt...

I have the odd t-shirt from recent collections that was made in China (I think some of the Mad store stuff is as well) but figured the more complicated/statement pieces would still be made in Japan.Originally Posted by Faust
Oh well, looking forward to Takahiro Miyashita The Soloist: Made in Turkey
Undercover will begin showing menswear on the runway this June! And I got to break the news ;-)
