"The world used to be silent
Now it has too many voices.
And the noises are constant distraction
They multiply, intensify.”
So begins “Shut Up,” a Patti Smith-type movement between powerful spoken segments and guttural baselines that drives the opening track off Savages’ debut LP, Silence Yourself. Serving as the soundtrack to Japanese brand Undercover’s first womenswear collection, the song spoke beautifully to designer Jun Takahashi's pursuit to capture communicative contradictions: "The collection of this season is themed on such contradictions in this world, in addition to internal struggles that we face on a day-to-day basis and sets of opposing emotions within humans," Takahashi's press release stated.
Since he was a teen, Takahashi has collected pieces from Seditionaries, Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood’s joint punk label, and continues to put a punk spin on classic pieces. Case in point: Spring/Summer 2014. Bringing together bondage and bows with colorful PVC details, Undercover gives sleek, sophisticated shape to more "traditional" punk wardrobe tropes.
