UNDERCOVER SS03 “SCAB” Reconstructed Patchwork Pants

  Undercover’s Spring/Summer 2003 “SCAB” marked Jun Takahashi’s Paris debut and is widely considered his magnum opus. Drawing from crust punk aesthetics, the collection featured frayed patchwork, distressed fabrics, and graphics referencing the band Sedition. Symbolic “scab” textures conveyed rebellion and raw beauty, while politically charged moments—like models in multicolored burqas—offered subtle anti-war commentary in a post-9/11 context. Each garment carried a handcrafted, narrative quality, blending subculture grit with conceptual artistry. “SCAB” cemented Takahashi’s global reputation, influencing a generation of designers and remaining a touchstone for its fearless fusion of underground music, political edge, and artisanal craft in high fashion.
