Number (N)ine SS02 Patch Washed Denim

Product: SS02 Patch Washed Denim
Designer: Takahiro Miyashita
Season: Spring/Summer 2002

The SS02 Patch Washed Denim From Number (N)ine Captures Takahiro Miyashita’s Early Exploration Of American Grunge And Spiritual Iconography Within Japanese Contemporary Fashion. Across The Front Panels, Multiple Text Patches – Including “Identity,” “Love,” “Spiritual,” “Life,” “Imagine,” And “Jesus” – Are Applied In A Structured Grid-Like Arrangement, Transforming Classic Five-Pocket Denim Into A Narrative Surface. The Washed Indigo Base And Distressed Knee Areas Reinforce The Era’s Raw, Music-Driven Sensibility, While The Direct Typography Reflects Miyashita’s Ongoing Dialogue With Faith, Individualism And Subculture. As Part Of The Spring/Summer 2002 Output, This Model Stands Among The Most Recognizable Graphic Denims From The Label’s Formative Period.
