Oh for fuck's sake how many Rick threads do we need everyday?

Does /fa/ have no idea that other cool(er) designers exist?

How about someone making a N(N) thread for change? Even if we don't know shit, it would be a great learning experience. Sure beats deluding even more fuccbois into buying geobaskets

uh really quick history
takahiro miyashita was a self-taught deconstructionist, used to hang out around in urahara buying clothes, deconstructing and reconstructing them to learn how to make his own. got a job working for nepenthes before starting his own label in 1996. Really started as a streetwear brand but he had high fashion aspirations and realized them in 00 (Might be earlier, but the oldest RW show I can think of is from 00?). Either way, tons of diverse influences, but especially music, everything from coked-out cock-rock glam stuff to 90s grunge. But look at SS08 if you like Demeulemeester in particular. His collections were very, very varied, and extremely personal, he's easily one of the most interesting designers working today
Label closed with AW09. There is still N(N), but it's not designed by Takahiro and of noticeably worse quality.
Takahiro now has The Soloist, interesting label, not your thing - hard to describe considering it does change a lot, but deconstructed americana comes pretty close a lot of the time, though it doesn't really do it justice. Just like Number (N)ine, it has pretty fantastic and labour-intensive construction and quality, really interesting finishes and detailing on items.

Just look at his AW01 collection for example

Experimented with face-coverings around the same time as Raf did with AW01 "Riot Riot Riot". Would draw quite a few parallels between this collection and a lot of raf's extremely baggy and oversized silhouettes that took a lot from streetwear and youth culture, though n(n) feels a lot less... sinister

either way check it out

OP
Have you tried Amazon?

"Truly a god amongst gods. I've only had one sighting of Takahiro, which was in NYC at a N. Hoolywood show, and it was like seeing a rare creature on the verge of extinction. Takahiro is beyond next level and is so far ahead of anyone else, we all can only hope to barely catch up to his awesomeness. The man can layer like no one else." - Tommy Ton
