Celebrating Four Years of HIGAN: A Unique Coat Collection
In the realm of high-end street fashion, HIGAN stands out by launching an exclusive collection to celebrate its four-year anniversary. This special event unites four of Japan’s most acclaimed brands: doublet, FACETASM, FUMITO GANRYU, and KIDILL. The creators have reinterpreted the legendary M-51 military coat, resulting in a limited collection of thirteen extraordinary pieces, each infused with their unique design signature.
A Groundbreaking Exhibition
To commemorate this milestone, HIGAN executed an innovative exhibition that merged social media with reality. Viewers experienced an exhilarating showcase as thirteen scooters, from well-known brands like Lambretta and Vespa, raced through the streets of Koenji. The thrilling moments were broadcast live on Instagram, establishing a real-time connection between the exciting urban backdrop and the exhibition space. This immersive digital performance transformed the day into a celebration of youthful impulse and digital creativity.
Capturing the Scene
The visuals for this remarkable collection come from top-tier creators working right at the industry's forefront. Stylist Tatsuya Shimada led the creative direction, while renowned photographer Tsutomu Ono captured stunning looks that showcased the essence of the event and the energy of the atmosphere. The collaboration resulted in breathtaking presentations that resonate with fans and fashion enthusiasts alike.
The Art of Custom Design
What truly sets this collection apart is the intricate process behind each garment. Each of the thirteen unique pieces began with the classic M-51 coat as the base, which was passed through the hands of the four talented designers in a relay fashion. With each designer adding their own details and interpretations, the garments evolve into a rich tapestry of identity and creativity. The historical significance of the vintage piece, intertwined with contemporary styles, results in a remarkable collection that tells a multifaceted story.
With a selling price of 300,000 yen (excluding tax) for each coat, every single piece is one-of-a-kind, designed to offer an unparalleled expression of style.
