20471120 AW1997 Hyoma Sweater
Standing as one of Harajuku’s most popular brands in the ‘90s, Masahiro Nakagawa named his brand after a specific date - November 20th, 2047, which he believes will be a significant moment in Earth’s timeline. The label put forth a sort of gleefully dystopian future through moto and army inspired clothing, contrasted against their recurring cartoon avatar Hyoma, a child whom had “sex” and “violence” tattooed on his face. Unsurprisingly for a label named after the future, Nakagawa and his creative partner Lica were forward thinking, and famously toured the world establishing creative ateliers for what they called the "The Tokyo Recycling Project,” where customers could have their old and unwanted garments transformed by having 20471120 visuals printed on them.
This sweater features a knit graphic of Hyoma himself, with a raglan sleeve and high arm-hole cut. The ends of the sleeves are stitched to themselves, giving the sweater a feel of being sloppily cuffed as a schoolboy might.
Condition: 9/10. No significant flaws.
