Today I post an homage to the Japanese Fashion Dream Team aka the JDM Rat Pack that is Hiroshi Fujiwara (FRAGMENT, SOPH.), Jun Takahashi (UNDERCOVER, NOWHERE), Hikaru Iwanaga (BOUNTY X HUNTER) and Nobu Kitamura (HYSTERIC GLAMOUR).  A reocurring theme in all of their designs is the heavy presence of punk rock, especially apparent in Hikaru’s BOUNTY X HUNTER line (Mykal’s favourite).  Hiroshi Fujiwara has grown and his desings have naturally matured to a more casual aesthetic, though his approach can be considered unconventional, much like punk rock itself.  His music has changed from thrash to collaborations with mister Slowhand himself, Eric Clapton and guitar work for Nujabes.  The dark and brooding tone of Jun Takahashi’s line UNDERCOVER has always captivated me and inspired the production of a few of my films.  Before they became today’s tastemakers they played together in a band called THE TOKYO SEX PISTOLS, enjoy a rare glimpse of them performing…

Young Hiroshi Fujiwara, hahah…
