Undercover designer Jun Takahashi opted out of showing on the Paris runways and instead took his models to a forest outside Tokyo to be photographed in subzero temperatures. The technical silver jackets and ultra sleek helmets were a perfect match for the Mylar survival blanket runway. But Takahashi doesn’t just design clothing. His jackets are reworked with lining made of membranes and micro-capsules developed for NASA to regulate body temperature by absorbing heat and releasing it when outside degrees drop. And it looks good! Sweater dresses, long leather coats and black velvet rounded out his more toned-down pieces this season. But front and center were coats worn with matching monochromatic tights and dresses. The Undercover fall collection basically answers all my questions about looking fierce in the winter months.
