John Elliott ✕ Mastermind Japan Lookbook
| John Elliott and Mastermind Japan have collaborated on a fourteen-piece collection, set to launch in two drops: Sunday, December 3rd, and Thursday December 7th, at 8 AM PST. This partnership is a fusion of cultural influences. It draws from the raw energy of the New York City punk scene of the 70s and 80s, interwoven with elements of freedom from motorcycle culture and the grunge era's DIY ethos. The essence of this collection lies in the transformation of clothing through alteration, repair, and embellishment, reflecting an attitude of cherishing well-worn garments as extensions of one's identity. The collection features core items from John Elliott, including Jersey, French Terry, and Denim, all deconstructed and reassembled. The color palette is heavily influenced by Mastermind's designer Masaaki Homma, adding a bold statement with an emphasis on various shades of black. The iconic Mastermind skull logo is a recurring motif, printed in various forms. A commitment to high-quality craftsmanship is evident, with a focus on superior materials and meticulous construction techniques from Japan. |
