Hysteric Glamour “Shibuya” Devil Chenille Patched Varsity Jacket

Hysteric Glamour is a Japanese label known for redefining the lines between streetwear and luxury, blending the modern take of each with innovative design. Nobuhiko “Nobu” Kitamura (Hysteric Glamour’s founder) began his career at youth-oriented fashion label “Ozone Community”, 1984. His first introduction in the fashion and industry, the young creative had graduated from Mode Gakuen fashion college that same year. Here Kitamura, like many Japanese designers, became fascinated with Western culture. He took this new found inspiration, respectfully departed from the Ozone label and created Hysteric Glamour. His brand would garner traction throughout the years, subsequently becoming a staple in Japanese street culture.

 

Remaining as one of Hysteric Glamour’s most prized varsity jackets, the Devil bomber has become notoriously famed and highly illusive. Extremely difficult to obtain due to it’s slim production run, the chenille patched garment features chain stitched embroidery reading “Shibuya”, nodding to the Japanese City the Hysteric Glamour storefront resides within. Then gazing to the right, a black animated Devil is seen patched above a vibrant blue base, alongside a “440 Magnum” leather sleeve hit. Paying homage to an infamous car engine build, the jacket is finalized with a racing symbol along the cuff in continuation with racing theme. In great condition with some use, fitting a size medium.
