Osaka's fashion scene has been the focus of much attention recently. HOUYHNHNM's is always on the lookout for new trends, and one that we are paying particular attention to is "Zepanese Club," which started this fall. Zepanese Club" suddenly appeared in Nakatsu, Osaka.IMA:ZINEThe label consists of Atsuto Tani and Fuyuki Inaba of "WASTED YOUTH" and graphic artist Verdy, who also works on "WASTED YOUTH." Items released on an irregular basis are sold out across the board, and the label is gaining momentum, especially locally. While the next release is eagerly awaited, we have received information that they are preparing a special item for the end of the year.
ZEPANESE CLUB × Jason Takara BANGLES ¥230,000+TAX , RING ¥120,000+TAX
First, a bangle and ring co-created with legendary Hopi artist Jason Takara . The center of the ring is decorated with the Zephaniah Club logo in gold, and Takara's iconic Man in the Maze motif is placed on the side. The intricate workmanship goes without saying. The contrast of the overlay makes the gold motif emerge powerfully. Most interesting of all is the fact that a Native American who values tradition has collaborated with a street brand. This unexpected combination, which is probably a first in history, is what makes "Zephaniah's Club" so interesting and exciting. Please try to get a sense of the brand's free-spirited mindset, which is not bound by preconceived ideas, from these items.
Zepanese Club SWEAT PARKA ¥12,000+TAX
. also featuring the popular logo parka, which will be released at the same time. This time, the logo is gold and the sweatshirt body is black to match the Jason Takara collaboration. The snake in the brand logo signifies "challenge and achievement" and "peace that lies ahead" in the Hopi tribe. In fact, the identity of the Hopi tribe lurks in the depths of the brand. This is a very clever way of giving meaning to something that cannot be seen. This piece by itself has a sufficient impact, but it will be even more powerful when paired with the jewelry that we collaborated with the brand on.
. The brand will be available at Imagine, a new landmark in Osaka, Japan. The jewelry collaboration with Jason Takara will be available for order from December 23 (Sat), and the logo parka will be on sale from December 23 as well. The "early birds" have already checked out "Zephaniah's Club," so be sure to get your hands on one before you miss out.
