Undercover by Jun Takahashi
Aoyama
Tokyo, Japan
The Aoyama boutique of anti-fashion establishment designer Jun Takahashi reflects its owner's ethos: there are walls with no dry wall, only exposed metal frames and electrical wiring, and hundreds of bare light bulbs clustered together (only some of them lit) on the ceiling to create a beautifully off-kilter ambience. Art work by the designer's friends is also on display. The clothing racks are few and far beween in the two-level store.Takahashi's collections are minimalist and street friendly, featuring men and women's clothing and footwear.
Insider Tip:
While at the store, keep an eye out for Takahashi's Graces, the designer's sculptural faceless art "dolls" which are frequenlty on display.
