Named after the Jimi Hendrix song, the brand is the undisputed king of \"Gypsy-Rock\" and bohemian darkwear. These early-era \"Carpet\" pants perfectly encapsulate the label's aesthetic: a hyper-detailed, 1970s-infused rockstar silhouette designed for the Japanese avant-garde underground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Design Elements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePersian Tapestry Motif:\u003c\/strong\u003e The fabric features an incredibly intricate, faded \"carpet\" or tapestry print.
