20471120 AW1999 Hyoma Racing 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 textual “Hyoma” logo above a patch of Hyoma himself, with a pair of racing jersey-style sleeve patches. The blue piping which stretches the length of the sleeves is made from a thin strip of leather.
Condition: 7/10. Small holes on the sleeves and stain on right arm. Some discoloration on the white portion.
