Jun Takahashi... Undercover Lab have an address?

Really need an address if there is one available. If you can help me out in any way I'd greatly appreciate it!

Runner - is this their shop building in Tokyo?

 

[Scott]

^no i believe that lab is only his tokyo atelier + showroom. his shop i think is connected to 10 Corso Como Comme des Garçons on aoyama..

 

[SomethingElse]

Thanks, Scott. It is a marvelous architectural feat!

 

[Papercut Crisis]

Thanks for the address. Is that for the lab or is it his shibuya store?

 

[Scott]

according to superfuture it's on aoyama. and it's next to corso como not connected,sorry somethingelse

the address:
5-3-18 minami aoyama minato-ku 107-0062

and you're right somethingelse....amazing piece of architecture. probably the most fascinating building i've ever seen. kind of like a cargo box you see on ships....and it's remarkable how they utilise the little space they got in that city with something so extraordinary...

Thanks for the address. Is that for the lab or is it his shibuya store?

for the lab.
the most part of the area called harajuku belongs to shibuya-ku, jingumae.
harajuku station does exist, but there is no address named harajuku.

It’s the beginning, perhaps, of the Japanese new wave as far as fashion is concerned. Comme des Garcons’ Rei Kawakubo and Junya Watanabe, Yohji Yamamoto, Issey Miyake and Jun Takashi of Undercover may have put Japan on the map in the ‘80s and ‘90s...

While Japanese designers such as Issey Miyake, Yohji Yamamoto, Rei Kawakubo and Junya Watanabe for Comme des Garcons and Jun Takashi of Undercover are well known names across the globe, these designers no longer show in Tokyo, having opted long ago to move their semi-annual ready-to-wear collection showings to Paris...

Anyway have or know where I can find out more information about Undercover?

I have a ton of the old UC collection pics... should I post them in here?


ETA - Marvy, what kind of info? I'm sure some of us can answer some questions or info for you, I'm sure I am not the only UC-obsessor here. hehe

 

[Marvystone]

^ Please post them!

I'm just wondering how he started and things like that..

ah I meant to post this here so long ago! I always forget what I posted, where, when, etc

Jun doing live doll creations often now... here is one from a few months ago. it's nice to watch if you're a fan of the Graces

 

[Inaya]

^ Please post them!

sorry I am late replying. when I have some free time soon I will work on checking which haven't been posted, and start to fill the missing seasons in

Another thing I meant to post in here, the story of SS09 Grace collection as told by Takahashi and photographer: Katsuhide Morimoto. inside the book, there are tons of images more inside the big, these ones I uploaded were just a small preview. aside from the photography below, there are also sketches and storyboards included, which is nice, seeing the thought process behind it all.

also, these have been showing up in a lot of blogs recently, uncredited... which is pretty annoying, since I actually waited a long time for the book, got it, and uploaded a few of the images to share with people - on the premise that people would buy the book as well and not just jack the images without even sourcing them back to me.

anyways I hope people will enjoy them, the story of the Graces is so precious.
