Undercover Resort 2027: Last Independent Collection Before Human Made Acquisition
The Resort 2027 collection from Undercover might mark the final release of the brand as an independent entity. Currently, founder Jun Takahashi holds an 80% stake, while his brother Hiroshi owns the remaining 20%. A significant transformation is on the horizon, as Human Made Corporation, established by Nigo, has entered a non-binding agreement to purchase Undercover. The goal is to finalize a 100% share acquisition by September 2026, with the complete transition expected by February 2027. This collection emphasizes intricate details such as lace trims, cat motifs, sheer elements, and layered designs, featuring oversized tees, boxy shirts, cropped jackets, elongated tunics, and wide shorts and trousers, often enhanced with aprons, slips, bibs, and flowing overlays. Takahashi creatively reinterprets femininity with corset-like black panels, gingham, denim, and sailor ties, challenging conventional sweetness through unexpected proportions and twists.
