COVERAGE

From its inception into the fashion scene in 1997, designer Takahiro Miyashita sought to articulate the feeling of sorrow through cult brand Number (N)ine. This mission became evermore realized through the brand's execution of runway shows and clothing, from the melancholic walking of its runway models to ready-to-wear pieces that radiated both introspective construction and cultural appreciation. Argued to be the brand's most famous collection during its lifespan, Number (N) ine's AW05 'The High Streets' encapsulates this incorporation of said concepts to the utmost level. Nonetheless, one can only fully appreciate this visual masterpiece after first understanding the collection's various influences.
