In the case of Hiroshi Fujiwara, the "Godfather of the Street," it was the punk culture that emerged in England in the late 1970s. At the age of 18 at the time, he went to London and became friends with Malcolm McLaren, the man behind punk, and his partner, Vivienne Westwood, who were key figures in the scene.
Mr. Fujiwara and Hirofumi Kiyonaga work on such[uniform experimentis also releasing punk-inspired knitwear items this season.

Nordic mohair crew neck knit ¥50,000+TAX
When you hear the word "punk fashion," the first thing that comes to mind is riders, tattered T-shirts and jeans, chains, safety pins, and other items that are aggressive in a certain way, just because it is a counterculture.
However, these mohair knits are also items loved by punk rockers. Argyle and Nordic patterns are available, and the former in particular is known as the pattern often worn by John Lydon, frontman of the Sex Pistols, the band that sparked the punk craze.
The long, expressive fur gives it a pleasant feel and good heat retention. Although the punk fashion has a strong, harsh look, this can be easily incorporated into everyday life.

Wool crew neck knit ¥24,000+TAX
. This knit is made of lamb's wool, which is thin but has excellent heat retention properties. Thanks to its tight silhouette, it also has the lightness of a T-shirt.
The lineup includes two types of designs. The one with the brand's iconic key on the left chest as a one-point accent is minimalist in both design and silhouette, making it easy to use regardless of style.
Also, a safety pin, a symbol of punk, will be embroidered on the garment. The deceptive design of the pin, which looks as if it is stuck into the body, is a key point of this collection, and gives it a playful feel that is typical of "Uniform Experiment. It is a pop and cute piece that can be worn by punk lovers as well as non-punk lovers.
Punk continues to be a motif in the fashion world. Uniform Experiment" will start selling new items on October 23 (Fri.).
