Uncovering Undercover

by None

It’s hard to believe that Undercover is 25 years old, probably because the Japanese label only decamped for Paris from Tokyo in 2003. But now designer Jun Takahashi has returned home with a retrospective at the Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery. The exhibit — aptly titled Labyrinth of Undercover, hinting at the complexity of the multi-faceted label — showcases roughly 100 of Takahashi’s more provocative pieces, along with runway videos, paintings, and his peculiar and rather nightmarish ‘Grace’ dolls.
