Posted by Mark Robinson on February 22, 2009 at 11:02 am in fashion
Hint Magazine released that Japanese brand label Number (N)ine by Takahiro Miyashita will be coming to an end.
This is what was said :
“Today we received a letter (an actual letter, so you know it’s serious) from Number (N)ine. It started with this quote: “When you’re finished changing, you’re finished.” You guessed it: the Tokyo-based, Paris-showing men’s label launched 12 years ago by Takahiro Miyashita is closing. The fall ‘09 collection—portentously called A Closed Feeling—was the last. The letter went on to say “Over the last decade, Number (N)ine evolved, always forging ahead with a unique and potent vision, to emerge as one of the leading brands of Japan.”
For us Number Nine has been a leading brand, paving the way with there dark ways, a real inspiration for me and my work.
Number Nine was always looked at as controversial in a look down society such as fashion, i hope we see more people take on a role like that and not conform.
R.I.P Number Nine.
