Travis Scott's passion for Vintage Tee has been around for a long time, and number (N)INE has been on his body many times in recent times;
In addition, among The Archive players, the "classic" of NUMBER (N)INE02-06 has also become a must-have item in recent years, and this phenomenon should be explored from the "language" shown by Takahiro Miyashita in his design that year.
"Two-headed skeleton", slogan jeans...
Currently TS and Archive players
Favorites of these NUMBER (N)INE pieces:
Like many of my friends, I have found that Travis Scott will choose NUMBER(N)INE Vintage Tee to match in many recent sets of looks:
For example, the number (N)INE 05SS badge LOGO TEE, paired with Isabel Marrant flannel jacket and Evisu jeans;
When the PS5 x Dunk is exposed, and in a recent photo with 21 Savage, TS is the double-headed skull Tee of the NUMBER (N)INE04SS, paired with Dsquared2 biker pants;
When I participated in the event last month, I also chose THE Tee, a joint name between NUMBER (N)INE and Mickey Mouse in the early years, which shows the "degree of love".
TS so often under the body, on the other hand, what attracted my attention is that many Archive players still have a strong "interest" in NUMBER (N)INE;
And their concentrated upper body items, usually these are these: first of all, the same TS, NUMBER (N)INE04SS double-headed skull series, whether it is zipper jackets, sweatshirts, etc., are highly sought after by Archive players and bloggers;
There is also this NUMBER (N)INE05FW Hybrid Cargo Pants, excellent appearance and collocation, but also attracted the attention of the new generation of "Vibe representative" Wook and others;
The NUMBER (N)INE02SS "slogan" jeans and jackets, also because of the "rebellious" design, are quite popular in the Archive market, and the domestic market price is around 3k and 6k respectively;
The 03AW series pays tribute to Kurt Cobain's Archive sweater and patch jeans, which are jokingly called by many people as "wearing it can change Kurt in seconds";
In addition, NUMBER (N)INE06SS T-shirts, jeans and other items, with Guns N Roses prints and rivet splashes and other elements, have won the love of many players with "rock complex".
It is not difficult to find that the NUMBER (N)INE items selected by most pose players are generally concentrated in the brand's 02-06 series;
The reason behind this, in addition to "recognition" and conformity to current trends, is also inseparable from "Takahiro Miyashita" himself, who had a "unique understanding" of design during that period and a forward-looking "aesthetic communication".
Favorite items are from "02-06",
Miyashita Takahiro's 5 years of "crazy output",
Established the brand's position in the Archive world:
Takahiro Miyashita loves rock and roll, and even the brand name is taken from The Beatles' famous song "Revolution 9", the Number Nine that John Lennon repeated over and over again.
Especially in the 02-06 period, NUMBER(N)INE drew heavily on elements of The Beatles, Guns N' Roses, Nirvana and other bands to create, which also takes a look back at the runway and pieces at that time:
「 Number（N)ine 02SS The Modern Age」：
Inspired by post-World War II poets and writers
"Anti-war" is the central theme of Miyashita's series, inspired by the "Beat Generation": a new generation of American writers and poets after World War II, some call them the precursors of hippies;
A large number of poems and slogans, in the form of patches or font prints, were displayed on costumes of different materials, expressing the thoughts and ambitions of Miyashita Takahiro;
「 Number (N)ine 03AW Touch Me Im sick 」：
Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobain's "Everyday Wear"
Miyashita Takahiro admires Kurt Cobain very much, and this season, he refers to many of Kurt's past costumes and outfits;
Through more gorgeous fabrics and designs to "restore" its style, until now, it is still the "best tribute series" in the hearts of many Kurt Cobain fans, and it is also a season that establishes the status of NUMBER (N)INE in the fashion industry.
「 Number (N)ine 04AW GIVE PEACE A CHANCE 」：
Calling for "peace" and paying tribute to The Beatles
On the 04AW runway, Takahiro Miyashita used The Beatles' famous song "GIVE PEACE A CHANCE" as the theme to present "anti-war ideas" on top of the costumes;
The brand's iconic element "Tears and Thorns" also debuted in the season, with the music and background of the runway and the silhouette of the costumes creating an atmosphere of "new life after breaking";
Many players also said that after watching the entire Show, they knew how good 04FW was, and the two quarters of 2004 were also the most eye-catching in the current Archive player evaluation and market performance.
「 Number (N)ine 05FW The High Street 」：
Many people think of "the starting point of the high street"
Takahiro Miyashita also has his own orchestra, called "The High Street", from which the theme of this season comes from, and the impact of this season on the later fashion industry is "subversive";
On the basis of american traditional formal wear, a large number of street style cuts and patterns are integrated into it, which is also regarded by many as the starting point of "High Fashion";
The above-mentioned Hybrid Cargo Pants, along with the rarer green straight-leg jeans in the Archive market below, came from this season.
「 Number (N)ine 06SS Welcome to the Shadow 」：
Tribute to Guns N' Roses lead singer Axl Rose
Rivets, leopard print, turbans, skinny leather pants, full of "aggressive slogans" and other elements, throughout the 06SS show, the most discussed set of looks, is Miyashita Takahiro to one of his rock idols Axl Rose to pay tribute;
The Combination of Haute Couture Big Tee and Over-the-Knee Shorts was undoubtedly a bold and advanced design at the time, and also influenced many brands in the future.
The pair of NUMBER (N)INE and Convers Weapon's joint basketball shoes at the feet of the model are now priced at 1,000 US dollars in the secondary market, and many players think that it is a god-level Archive shoe.
Classic design from 02-06 years,
Let NUMBER (N)INE vs. Chen Guanxi,
FOG and many more industry players and Rapper,
It has had a profound impact:
We can still see the influence brought by the NUMBER(N)INE of the "year" in fashion, Hiphop and other fields, such as the "Tears and Thorns" in 04AW, which provided some inspiration for brands such as CLOT later;
The emergence and popularity of high street brands such as Fog and Amiri, as well as fashion and luxury brands such as Givenchy, are also somewhat grateful to NUMBER(N)INE for its "first demonstration" in the 05FW and 06SS seasons of 05FW and 06SS;
In addition, many Rapper in the early years also had a fondness for number (N)INE pieces in that period, A$ap Rocky on the 05FW Hybrid Jacket, the current domestic market price is about 1W yuan;
Ian connor is a "big fan" of NUMBER (N)INE, and classic items such as 06SS splashed jeans and vintage print Tee appear in its collocation;
The number (N)INE mentioned above × Convers Weapon shoe, and the black version was unveiled at the feet of Playboi Carti;
For the "impact" that NUMBER(N)INE brought to the fashion industry later, it is difficult to summarize the short length, and players who are still obsessed with NUMBER(N)INE can give their own different reasons.
Miyashita in 2002-06,
It really brings a shock effect that can still affect the present.
