“It is the hope we have for what lies ahead of our daily worries and anxieties,” said Takahashi in a statement about the collection. Womenswear ranges from the borderline couture - jackets and puffers laden with dense layers of fabric pressed and creased to resemble flowers - to comparatively casual items that include layered coats, lapel-less jackets bolstered by fleece sleeves and various jacquard sweaters, many realized with one of UNDERCOVER’s frequent motifs: a delicate rose.

The Evangelion collaboration only encompasses a portion of the lineup, as the majority is dedicated to Jun Takahashi‘s latest womenswear presentation, though it does kick off with a series of genderless trompe-l’œil pajama sets.
Paneled puffer jackets bring the robotic creations to life, while several black parkas, coats, bombers and jackets feature colorful prints of the characters and their robotic counterparts. Of course, FW21 womenswear looks are on hand, accompanied by some new angles of UNDERCOVER’s forthcoming Nike Dunk collaboration, but the real showstopper of this presentation, dubbed “CREEP VERY,” is a series of outfits drawn directly from Hideaki Anno’s Evangelion that tie in neatly with the franchise’s long-awaited final film, Evangelion: 3.0+1.0.Įven casual fans of the series will find plenty of recognizable designs on display here, ranging from parkas inspired by the giant Evangelion Units and the Plugsuits worn by pilots like Shinji Ikari, Asuka Shikinami Langley and Rei Ayanami.
