Undercover revealed their 2022 Spring – Summer Men’s Collection on Friday, June 25. Artistic director, Jun Takahashi, immersed himself in a new space to develop this collection, titled “Once In a Lifetime.”

From a brand new studio located on a mountain, where Takahashi could walk down to the beach at any given moment, the designer came to a realization: you have to cherish the ordinary. With designs deeply rooted in everyday life, this collection skips the excessively decorative and frivolous, favoring the every day. 

Because no single moment can be repeated, every one of them is a once in a lifetime experience. Simple, functional pieces are reflective of this collection’s theme: treasure every single day of your life.

Black and camel colored pieces make up the majority of the collection, with trench coats and waterproof overcoats creating a stylish yet functional look.

These understated pieces are still eye-grabbing, and pops of color make the every day pieces stand out even more. Four pieces in the collection are also a collaboration with EASTPAK, including the royal blue oversized trench.

Oversized pockets can be seen throughout. This muted grey-green hoodie features a pocket on the sleeve, as well as zipper details. The knitted cardigans are also standout pieces, a classic but comfortable look.

The focus on comfort continues with trendy oversized t-shirts and crewnecks. Takahashi manages to turn these simple, loungewear concepts into works of art with unique designs and trendy hues.

The style of music and graphic designs were created by “OGRE YOU ASSHOLE,” a Japanese rock band that Takahashi feels embodies his feelings.
