Everything is sewn in Japan. It has a slightly short length that looks like it has shrunk, which is typical of America’s dryer culture, and a boxy silhouette with a wide body that stretches out to the side, which is unique to a round torso. Even without any processing, it has a somewhat vintage feel. In the current used clothing market, vintage band T-shirts are rising in price year by year, with prices ranging from hundreds of thousands of yen to millions of yen. The body was born with the idea of ​​“a T-shirt that clothing and culture lovers can buy and wear with confidence,” with a quality comparable to that of products available at the time that could be purchased for around 10,000 yen. This is the best piece of T-shirt that Takata has taken seriously. • We will be holding a curation event for T-shirts and goods that you can enjoy while unraveling the relationship between alternative rock that represents the 90s, photography, and art! 〈April 26th (Sat) – May 11th (Sun)〉 At the curation event held at “OPEN STUDIO,” a gallery and pop-up space attached to the Shibuya store, we will be selling T-shirts and imported goods from artist “Daniel Johnston” and Seattle’s indie label “SUB POP” exclusively at OPEN STUDIO.

Alternative rock, which was popular among independent labels in the 1980s and suddenly blossomed in the 90s, has a very interesting relationship with photography and art. When you unravel this, you can see why it has had such a huge influence on fashion. We have selected the bands that led this alternative rock movement, as well as the important photographers, artists, and labels associated with them, and have created a number of special T-shirts and goods that you can enjoy while looking at the relationship diagram.
