MEDICOM TOY


A Clockwork Apple by UNDERCOVER and MEDICOM TOY


Text by SHINNO Kunihiko




UNDERCOVER, founded in 1990 by Jun Takahashi, who still serves as designer, is a Japanese fashion brand that he started with friends while attending Bunka Fashion College. The brand made its debut at Tokyo Collection in 1994. It boasts a cult following for its original design aesthetic and participated in Paris Collection for the first time in 2002, becoming a globally recognized brand.

In addition to the "UNDERCOVER" lines for women and men, the brand launched its first secondary lines in 2013: "SueUNDERCOVER" for women and "JohnUNDERCOVER" for men.

The "GILAPPLE CLOCK" introduced here is based on "GRACE," a plush creature created by designer Jun Takahashi. It is a clock version of the "GILAPPLE," a lit apple that appears in the photobook "GRACE." Beyond serving as a motif for T-shirts, it has become an iconic UNDERCOVER item, released as a room light in collaboration with Medicom Toy. Following the red and black versions, the new color is a gold-plated gold version. Golden apples are often used as motifs in Greek mythology and are considered the source of immortality for the gods in Norse mythology. May you spend your days with fresh vitality alongside this time-telling fruit.
