undercover fall winter 2012 collection Undercover Fall/Winter 2012 Psycho Color Collection Lookbook

Japanese designer Jun Takahashi presents his new Undercover Fall/Winter 2012 Collection. Entitled ‘Psycho Color’, the collection looks better than ever. The designer used more color than usual and we really like the direction he took. A fantastic mix of materials, colors and silhouettes is featured in the collection. The line is different from anything else we have seen, very unique and innovative, nicely displaying the various influences of the designer in one look. The only thing we have to complain about, is the wait time until the line hits stores.

Check out the full Undercover Fall/Winter 2012 ‘Psycho Color’ Collection after the jump.

UNDERCOVER x UNIQLO – UU Spring/Summer 2012 Collection Lookbook | Behind The Scenes Look

Getting things right the first time around is no small feat in itself. But given the magnitude of this particular collaboration and as a follow-up to the Jil Sander’s wildly successful +J Collection, designer Jun Takahashi couldn’t leave anything to chance. Shot in a massive sound stage instead of the typical photo studio, Takahashi oversaw all aspects of the Spring/Summer 2012 Lookbook for UU Collection, the new collaboration between his brand and apparel giant UNIQLO. With a penchant for details, Takahashi not only was the lead stylist on set, but a temporary wrangler for the child models also. To really facilitate the sense of storytelling and “Family”, the lookbook’s central theme. All props were made from scratch, including some of the giant backdrops. As for the clothing themselves, all will be reveal on March 16th when the Collection first drop becomes available at select retail locations.
