Showcased is a beautiful Spring Summer 2003 Undercover Scab ‘Giz’ T-Shirt. Jun Takahashi is one of the most influential Japanese designers of the modern era. Born in Kiryu Japan in 1969, Takahashi started off his fashion career at Bunka Fashion College, while pursuing a career as the lead vocalist for the band “Tokyo Sex Pistols”. After earning a degree at Bunka, Jun Takahashi went on to launch Nowhere, a retail location in Harajuku. This was done alongside a friend, fellow college roommate, and creative director of Bape, Nigo. Nowhere quickly became a hotspot for trending Harajuku teens. In the same year, whilst operating Nowhere, he started his own cut and sew company Undercover. Takahashi became fascinated with Americana punk rock culture, shown in many pieces under the label Undercover. His work became more popular overtime, with notable collections such as 2003 “Scab”.
The 2003 “Scab” collection truly established Jun Takahashi as a respected designer within the highly competitive realm of fashion. The runway consisted of patchwork mediums and recurring motifs, such as the graphic shown on the garment above.
A flared motif semi-circles the neckline of this garment, contrasting the white ‘Giz’ emblem in a monochromatic medium. A truly abstract symbol of the legendary collection, ‘Giz’ has now been cemented in the world of Undercover. Tagged as a size medium, this piece fits true to size and is in great condition throughout. Seize the opportunity to purchase a beautiful Spring Summer 2003 Undercover Scab ‘Giz’ T-Shirt today.
