Number (N)ine By: Takahiro Miyashita
“Cigarettes!” Tee
SS 2001
One of Number (N)ine’s most coveted collections, “Time Migration” was displayed in a dim, intimate showroom. Models walked slowly in their own gaits, looking downcast as they donned his signature distressed garments. This marked the first collection where Miyashita’s signature distressed brown shirts were featured with the iconic graphics of “School of Visual Comedy” and “Cigarettes!”. Each t-shirt is processed with a vintage treatment and has intentionally distressed holes meant to resemble cigarette burns.
